    Abstract: The invention provides hybrid constant regions and antibodies or fusion proteins incorporating the same. The hybrid constant regions include at least CH2 and CH3 regions of an IgG or IgA constant region and Cμ3 and Cμ4 regions of a Cμ constant region. The hybrids retain properties of both component constant regions. The hybrids retain the ability of a Cμ constant region to form multivalent complexes, e.g., pentameric or hexameric structures. IgG hybrids also retain IgG properties including pH-dependent FcRn binding, which is associated with a relatively long in vivo half-life, and specific binding to protein G, which facilitates purification. Depending on the isotype and subtype, the nature of the antigen and presence of additional IgG CH1 and hinge domains, IgG hybrids may also retain properties of specific binding to protein A, and effector functions ADCC, CDC and opsonization. IgA hybrids retain the property of IgA of binding to an Fc-alpha receptor CD89.

    Abstract: This present invention provides an expression vector system that uses alternative RNA processing to express in a single cell a polypeptide in both membrane-bound and soluble forms. By incorporating a mimetic structure of the 3′ terminal region of human mu gene and introducing other exogenous genetic elements, an artificial gene can be constructed that is capable of simultaneously expressing membrane-bound and secreted forms of polypeptides in myeloma cells and other cells of the B lymphocyte lineage, as well as in non-B cells. If an immunoglobulin heavy chain is co-expressed with a light chain using this vector, whole antibodies can be produced that are both displayed on the surface of a single cell and secreted into the cell culture supernatant. Membrane-bound antibodies facilitate isolation and expansion of those cells displaying antibodies with desired antigen binding characteristics, while secreted antibodies facilitate identification of antibodies having desired biological function(s).
