Abstract

The subject invention provides non-human mammalian hosts characterized by inactivated endogenous Ig loci. The hosts are produced by repetitive transformations of embryonic stem cells by homologous recombination, preferably in conjunction with breeding. Different strategies are employed for recombination of the human loci randomly or at analogous host loci.
