Abstract excerpt
In recent years, mice carrying human IG transgenes are being generated for the production of human monoclonal antibodies as an alternative approach to the conventional use of mouse or chimeric-humanized antibodies. Theoretically, the size of the repertoire of human antibodies that these mice could produce would be critically dependent on the number of human V genes introduced in the transgene. This could be the...
