| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Production of various combinations of bispecific antibodies (bsAbs) is important for evaluating the next generation antibody drugs. In spite of its importance, it requires several gene-engineering steps. Here, we report an alternative approach for bsAb construction to reduce the gene manipulation steps. We used a method to create bsAbs in vivo through protein trans-splicing. For proof-of-concept of this method, we show the construction of a bsAb with anti-epidermal growth factor receptor variable domain of heavy chain antibody (VHH) and anti-green fluorescent protein (GFP) VHH. We successfully constructed the bsAb using this method and the resulting bsAb has the bispecific activity.
