FIELD: biotechnology.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to nucleic acid encoding recombinant immunoglobulin (Ig) containing only a heavy chain that contains one or several V gene segments of a human, one or several D gene segments of a human, and one or several J gene segments of a human, while at least one of the specified J-segments of a human contains codon encoding another amino acid residue in comparison with a native amino acid residue in the first position of the fourth frame region (FR4) that is capable of violating the integrity of a hydrophobic stain exposed on the surface. A transgenic animal containing the above-mentioned nucleic acid is also disclosed.EFFECT: invention is effective for producing an antibody containing only a heavy chain (HCAb).32 cl, 7 dwg, 1 tbl, 11 ex |
