  • Example 7 Analysis of V-D-J Rearrangements in lgG1 Modified Mice A. Mice Homozygous for an lgG1-CH1 -Hinge Deletion
  • mice homozygous for the lgG1 ACH1 -Ahinge modification were analyzed for V-D-J recombination and heavy chain gene usage by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) using RNA isolated from splenocytes.
  • RT-PCR reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction
  • spleens were harvested and perfused with 10 mL RPMI-1640 (Sigma) with 5% HI-FBS in sterile disposable bags. Each bag containing a single spleen was then placed in a STOMACHERTM (Seward) and homogenized at a medium setting for 30 seconds. Homogenized spleens were filtered using a 0.7 pm cell strainer and then pelleted with a centrifuge (1000 rpm for 10 minutes) and red blood cells (RBCs) were lysed in BD PHARM LYSETM (BD Biosciences) for three minutes.

  • These rearrangements demonstrate that the modified loci were able to independently rearrange mouse heavy chain gene segments in multiple, independent B cells in these mice to produce heavy chain antibodies that are similar to those normally found in camels.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne des animaux non humains génétiquement modifiés, ainsi que des procédés et des compositions permettant de les obtenir et de les utiliser. Ladite modification génétique comprend une délétion dans une région constante du gène CH1 d'une immunoglobuline (et, éventuellement, une délétion dans une région charnière) de type IgG, IgA, IgD et/ou IgE grâce à laquelle la souris devient capable d'exprimer une IgM fonctionnelle. L'invention concerne des souris génétiquement modifiées, dont des souris comportant un gène IgM fonctionnel, modifiées pour présenter une délétion d'un domaine CH1 et d'une région charnière dans un domaine constant d'une chaîne lourde qui n'est pas une Igm, par exemple dans un domaine constant d'une chaîne lourde d'IgG. L'invention concerne également des souris génétiquement modifiées capables de produire des anticorps à chaînes lourdes chimères à domaines variables humains/constants murins (des anticorps auxquels il manque une chaîne légère), des anticorps à chaîne lourde entièrement murins ou des anticorps à chaîne lourde entièrement humains.
