Abstract:
An efficient and rapid procedure for the humanization of murine monoclonal antibodies (MumAb) is described. It consists of site-directed mutagenesis (SDM) to transfer the murine complementarity-determining regions (MuCDR) onto human framework regions (HuFR), followed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of the SDM product. Using SDM/PCR, rapid and correct humanization of MumAb heavy chains is clearly demonstrated. Compared to current protocols this method considerably reduces the time and labour required to generate humanized mAb.
