DEFINITION

Classification: 435/326

Animal cell, per se, expressing immunoglobulin, antibody, or fragment thereof:

(under subclass 325) Subject matter wherein the animal cells produce immunoglobulin, antibody, or a fragment thereof.

(1) Note. This subclass includes cells producing immunoglobulins or gamma globulins, whether or not the binding specificities are disclosed.

(2) Note. Mixtures of cells of the same origin; i.e., species, tissue, etc., encoding different antibodies; e.g., in a library, etc., are encompassed by this subclass.

(3) Note. The major classes of immunoglobulins are IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE. Subclasses of immunoglobulins include IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3, and IgG4 subclasses which comprise the IgG class. IgY, which is similar to IgG, is found only in birds.

(4) Note. Synonyms include immune globulin, gamma globulin, Ig, etc.
