Single vector constructs for expression of a functional antibody molecule
are described. The vectors have a self-processing cleavage site between
two heterologous DNA coding sequences allowing for expression of two
coding sequences using a single promoter. Exemplary vector constructs
comprise a foot and mouth disease virus (FMDV) 2A sequence. The vector
constructs can be used in methods relating to antibody delivery and
therapy and in the production of a biologically active antibody or
fragment thereof.
