`
`The human body naturally produces millions of antibodies, proteins that fight disease by binding to specific targets on the surfaces of
`bacteria or viruses. In the 1970s, scientists first developed techniques to immunize mice with a foreign organism and clone (isolate)
`and grow single cells that pump out antibodies against the intruder. Despite their initial promise, these mouse monoclonal antibodies
`have fallen short as therapeutics. They are rapidly eliminated from the body and so must be infused into patients almost daily. More
`important, the body's own antibodies mount an immune reaction (known as a human anti-mouse antibody or HAMA response) against
`the mouse antibody, rendering it ineffective for further therapy.
`
`To overcome these limitations, PDL uses computer modeling and genetic engineering to convert mouse antibodies into human-like
`SMART (TM) Antibodies.
`
`DNA from cells producing a mouse antibody is isolated and placed in a sequencing machine to determine the chemical structure of the
`genes that encode the antibody. Using the genetic code, the amino acids composing the antibody itself are then determined.
`
`Proprietary computer software compares the amino acid sequence of the mouse antibody to the sequences of antibodies whose
`structure has been determined using X-ray diffraction, and then builds a 3-dimensional model of the key part of the mouse antibody.

`
`The minimum number of mouse amino acids (shown in red and dark blue) identified as necessary for binding to the target are
`combined with amino acids from a human antibody (light blue).
`
`The chemical structure of the genes to make the new SMART Antibody are programmed into a DNA synthesizer to synthesize the
`genes.
`
`The genes are inserted into a mammalian cell, which produces the antibody. In the lab, a humanized anti-herpes antibody blocks the
`virus from spreading from infected cells (dark spots, left); without the antibody, the virus infects all cells (right).
