Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to novel polypeptides and cells comprising the polypeptides. The polypeptides and cells are used in methods to identify and/or isolate cells producing a protein with specific biological functions. In particular, the methods may be used for identifying, selecting, and isolating cells producing antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed: 1. A method of producing a cell library expressing heterodimeric molecules on the cell surface, comprising: (a) fusing a first population of cells that express a first polypeptide with a second population of cells that comprise a plurality of polynucleotides that encode for a plurality of second polypeptides; wherein the first polypeptide comprises (i) an extracellular portion comprising an immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region comprising CH2 and CH3 domains;…
