Nature Research Webcast: Accelerating therapeutic antibody discovery with fully human antibody mice
November 26, 2019
Date: December 10, 2019 Time: 8am PST / 11am EST / 4pm GMT / 5pm CET Register Now Overview: Production of fully human antibody is a critical step in the antibody discovery process. In many cases, hybridoma with genetically modified animals or post-optimization humanization are often employed to generate humanized antibodies. Amid the laborious procedures, some major […]
The Utility of the Rosa26 Knock-in Mouse
November 19, 2019
The Rosa26 locus in the mouse genome is a “safe harbor” which allows researchers to express genes of interest. Different gene targeting technologies (embryonic stem cells; CRISPR) are used to make specific DNA insertions at the Rosa26 locus. The rationale for scientists to use Rosa26 and other key benefits to using this type of mouse […]
