Generating variants of anti-cd38 antibody using specific sequences
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11939395B2) discloses a method for generating variants of an anti-CD38 antibody using specific VH and VL sequences. The method involves diversifying amino acid residues within CDR and framework regions of the antibody, creating a recombinant antibody library, and screening the antibodies against a CD38 antigen. The diversification can target specific regions such as CDR-3 of VL, CDR-3 of VH, CDR-1 of VL, and/or CDR-2 of VH, with the option of using trinucleotide mutagenesis technology for the diversification process.
Furthermore, the patent details the use of a phage display library for the recombinant antibodies and a screening process in a stable CHO-K1-cell line with high CD38 surface expression. This allows for the selection of antibody-phages through whole cell panning. The method outlined in the patent provides a systematic approach to generating antibody variants with potential applications in targeting CD38 antigens, showcasing innovation in antibody development techniques.
