Targeted in situ protein diversification by site directed DNA cleavage and repair

The present invention relates to a method for producing a panel of cells (i.e. a cell library) expressing various different mutant variants of a protein of interest, wherein only one of said mutant variants is expressed per cell from a single gene copy. The present invention also relates to a method or cell library for identifying a mutant variant of a protein of interest having a different or modified biological activity as compared to the corresponding wild-type protein of interest. According to the present invention the identified mutant variant of a protein of interest may be applied for white biotechnology.

Display library process

Disclosed are methods for identifying desired members from a display libraries, including bacteriophage display libraries. Display library members can be amplified in the presence of a target compound so that cycles of selection can be rapidly completed.

Polypeptide and antibody bound to polypeptide

An antibody for being specifically bound to a pro brain-derived neurotrophic factor (pro-BDNF) and a bound epitope. The antibody and the protein are used for treating autoimmune diseases. By inhibiting the activity induced by the pro-BDNF, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephriti, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, asthma or cystic fibrosis, multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases are treated.
