CA 2751621
The present invention provides fully human antibodies in a transgenic animal of a desired isotype in response to immunization with virtually any desired antigen. The human immunoglobulin heavy chain transgene in the foregoing animals comprises a human constant region gene segment comprising exons encoding the desired heavy chain isotype, operably linked to switch segments from a constant region of a different heavy chain isotype, i.e., a non-cognate switch region. In the transgenes of the invention, the non-cognate switch region may be a switch region from a different species than the constant region coding segment. The invention further provides a DNA vector and method for the production of hybridomas that undergo class-switching in vitro. The DNA vector of the invention comprises a loxP site and DNA encoding a constant region gene.
