Import Framework Sequences Dialog Box

Import sequences for the light and heavy human framework regions and the human J region.

To open this dialog box, choose Framework Sequences from the Import framework from option menu and click the Browse button next to it, in the Antibody Humanization: CDR Grafting panel.

Import Framework Sequences Dialog Box Features

Import human framework sequences controls

Import sequences for the framework region from FASTA files. If you import human germline sequences, you should also import sequences for the J region. A single FASTA file is imported for each sequence, but the file can contain multiple sequences.

Heavy chain text box and Browse button

Import sequences for the heavy chain. Click Browse to browse to the FASTA file, or enter the file name in the text box.

Light chain text box and Browse button

Import sequences for the light chain. Click Browse to browse to the FASTA file, or enter the file name in the text box.

Same FASTA file as heavy chain option

Use the same FASTA file for the light chain as for the heavy chain. This option allows you to use the same or different files for the two chains.

Import J region sequence option and controls

Import sequences for the J region from FASTA files. This is important if you are importing human germline sequences, which do not have the J region. This region is responsible for the framework region after the CDR3 loop (i.e., FR4). If J region sequences are not provided, then the mouse sequence in FR4 is preserved in the humanized model.

Heavy chain text box and Browse button

Import sequences for the heavy chain. Click Browse to browse to the FASTA file, or enter the file name in the text box.

Light chain text box and Browse button

Import sequences for the light chain. Click Browse to browse to the FASTA file, or enter the file name in the text box.

Same FASTA file as heavy chain option

Use the same FASTA file for the light chain as for the heavy chain. This option allows you to use the same or different files for the two chains.
