Alternative Translation Initiation and Termination of Immunoglobulin (Ig) Folds (AltIg) for the Synthesis of Bifunctional Polypeptides
This invention is a novel way to create Alternative Igs (AltIgs). This invention could be used to fuse two proteins together as a single polypeptide by fusing the AltIg end of one protein to the other protein. This would create a different spatial relationship between the proteins than could be achieved if the native Ig was fused in a conventional manner.
Background:
Fusing...
