Abstract

The present disclosure enables methods of identifying the VH and VL class pairs in the human immune repertoire, determining the VH and VL class pairs that are most prevalent and those having favorable biophysical properties. More specifically, the collections of the present disclosure comprise the most prevalent and/or preferred VH and VL class pairings with highly diversified CDRs.

Claims (79)

1. A collection of synthetic antibody fragments comprising variable heavy chain and variable light chain framework regions,

wherein said synthetic antibody fragments are selected from Fab, F(ab′)2, Fab′, Fv, scFv, single chains which include an Fc portion and nanobodies,

wherein said framework regions comprise germline protein sequences,

wherein said germline protein sequences comprise the following properties:

i) four or less post translational modifications in the complementarity determining regions;

ii) two or less methionines in the complementarity determining regions;

iii) one or less unpaired cysteines;

iv) one or less T-cell epitopes; and

v) an isoelectric point of at least 7.5; and

wherein said collection of synthetic antibody fragments comprises germline protein sequences of at least two different germline protein pairs, wherein the germline protein pairs are selected from
