A method for cloning a full length coding sequence for a light chain of a rabbit monoclonal antibody is provided. In some embodiments, this method may involve: fusing a B cell from a rabbit having a B4 allotype with a 240E cell or a derivative thereof to produce a hybridoma, wherein the B cell and the hybridoma produce a monoclonal antibody; making cDNA from the hybridoma; amplifying from the cDNA a full length coding sequence for the light chain of a monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma using: a forward primer that hybridizes to a site in SEQ ID NO: 10, and a reverse primer having a 3' end of sequence CTARCAGTCX (SEQ ID NO: 11), wherein R is A or G and X is A, AC, ACC or ACCC; and cloning the amplified sequence into an expression vector to produce a first plasmid. |
