Abstract

An altered antibody is produced by replacing the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of a variable region of an immunoglobulin (Ig) with the CDRs from an Ig of different specificity, using recombinant DNA techniques. The gene coding sequence for producing the altered antibody may be produced by site-directed mutagenesis using long oligonucleotides or using gene synthesis.
