Product Overview Data Sheet Protocol
pFB-CHIg-hG1e6 is a cloning vector that expresses the human IgG1 heavy chain constant region with M252Y/S254T/T256E mutations. It is a constitutive mammalian expression vector designed to deliver exceptionally high levels of antibody expression. This circular vector features an enhanced, full-length CMV promoter and other expression elements that typically enable higher expression levels. It can be used in suspension-adapted cells, such as Expi293F™ and ExpiCHO™, for transient protein expression. Additionally, it can serve as a Geneticin®-selectable expression plasmid for engineering stable cell lines. The vector carries an ampicillin resistance gene.

Contents & Storage
- 5.0 µg of pFB-CHIg-hG1e6 in Tris-EDTA buffer
- Store at -20°. Vectors are guaranteed stable for 6 months when properly stored.
Materials required for Fc-engineered antibody generation
- pFB-CLIg-hk or pFB-CLIg-hl plasmid expressing the human kappa or lambda light chain.
Steps for Fc-engineered antibody generation
- Clone your heavy chain variable region (VH) into the pFB-CHIg-hG1e6 vector to make a heavy chain expression plasmid.
- Clone your light chain variable region (VL) into the pFB-CLIg-hk or pFB-CLIg-hl vector to make a light chain expression plasmid.
- Co-transfecting both heavy chain and light chain expression plasmids into your desired mammalian cell (such as CHO or HEK293) for Fc-engineered antibody production.
