| 摘要 |
Antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof derived from antibodies raised by DNA immunization of host animals, particularly camelids (e.g. llama). The antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof bind to proteins which may be particularly large in size (at least 1115 amino acids in length), or have at least 8 transmembrane domains, or are naturally encoded by nucleotide sequences which are difficult to replicate in standard or common E. coli strains. The present invention also relates to antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof which bind to ion channels, in particular the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.7. Methods of raising antibodies against particular protein targets by a process of DNA immunuzation are also provided. |
