Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides methods for the expression and/or production of variable domains with a C-terminal extension that can be used for coupling of the variable domain to one or more further groups, residues or moieties. In the method of the invention a yield of at least 80% of variable domains with a cysteine containing C-terminal extension is obtained. Also variable domains are provided and polypeptides comprising one or more variable domains obtainable by the methods of the present invention, as well as compounds that comprise such variable domains and/or polypeptides coupled to one or more groups, residues or moieties.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for the expression and/or production of a polypeptide comprising one or more immunoglobulin single variable domains linked to a C-terminal extension, said method comprising the steps of: a) maintaining a host under conditions that are such that said host expresses and/or produces the polypeptide; b) isolating and/or purifying the polypeptide from culture medium in which said host cell was cultivated; wherein the C-terminal extension is sel…
