The present disclosure provides methods of integrating therapeutic protein and antibody generation and/or selection, evolution and expression in a eukaryotic host for manufacturing in a single system. Therapeutic proteins, including antibodies, are generated, optimized and manufactured in the same eukaryotic host system. The disclosed system of Comprehensive Integrated Antibody Optimization (CIAO!) allows for simultaneous evolution of protein performance and expression optimization.
C07K 16/00 - Immunoglobulins, e.g. monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies
C12N 15/00 - Mutation or genetic engineeringDNA or RNA concerning genetic engineering, vectors, e.g. plasmids, or their isolation, preparation or purificationUse of hosts therefor

The disclosed system of Comprehensive Integrated Antibody Optimization (CIAO!™) allows for simultaneous evolution of protein performance and expression optimization.
This disclosure relates to a method of generating conditionally active biologic proteins from wild type proteins, in particular therapeutic proteins, which are reversibly or irreversibly inactivated at the wild type normal physiological conditions. For example, evolved proteins are virtually inactive at body temperature, but are active at lower temperatures.
