Development of a stable eukaryotic strain producing fully human monoclonal antibody on the basis of the human antibody against ectromelia virus by A. L. Matveev, Ya. A. Khlusevich, I. K. Baykov, I. V.  Babkin, E. P. Goncharova, V. V. Morozova, N. V. Tikunova

“…To develop a stable strain, the cassette vector plasmid pCDNA5/FRTDHFR­CH­CL containing the site of homologous recombination and the genes encoding heavy and light chains of the fully human antibody of the IgG1/kappa class was constructed at the first step. Notably, DNA of the plasmid pCDNA5/FRT­DHFR­CH­CL was organized in such a way that the restriction sites for rapid cloning of DNA fragments encoding the variable domains of heavy and light chains were inserted upstream of the sequences encoding constant domains of the heavy and light chains of the antibody. …”
