Abstract
The invention is generally directed to antibody variable domains or antibodies, libraries of antibody variable domains or antibodies, methods of making said antibodies and libraries, and methods of treatment comprising administering the generated antibody variable domains or antibodies. Specifically, the invention is directed to novel primer nucleotide sequences that are used to amplify all rearranged sequences of canine variable heavy (VH) and variable light (VL) immunoglobulin chains that have been used in naturally occurring antibody responses. These novel sequences contain canine framework regions and complementarity determining regions which may be used to canine-ize antibodies. Further, these sequences are useful for the identification and targeting of viral and bacterial pathogens, and tumor-associated antigens.
