This is a template page. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
You are provided with this team page template with which to start the iGEM season. You may choose to personalize it to fit your team but keep the same "look." Or you may choose to take your team wiki to a different level and design your own wiki. You can find some examples HERE.
You MUST have a team description page, a project abstract, a complete project description, and a lab notebook. PLEASE keep all of your pages within your Team:Example namespace.



We are the first Polish team starting in iGEM. We consist of Warsaw University, Faculty of Biology students interested in molecular biology and genetic engineering, associated in students scientific societies.

The goal of our team is to make the biological machine based on E. coli cells able to produce specific monoclonal antibodies to given antigen

Our research project is divided in three basic stages:

  • In stage 1 we will introduce mechanism of targeted increase of genetical variability in regions of bacterial genome encoding antibodies. In this situation every bacterial cell in population will express different antibody on its surface.
  • Goal of stage 2 is to provide selection mechanism, which will cause survival of the cells only when expressed antibody binds with target protein. Selection mechanism is based on antibiotic resistance induced by binding of target protein to antibody on cell surface.
  • In stage 3 cellular metabolism will be switched to efficient antibody production and export.
    Antibody will be then purified from culture medium. At all stages we have planed various control experiments, which will allow us to determine our progress.


This is very simplified description of our ‘biological machine’. Success of our project would allow simple, fast and cheap production of antibodies with desired specificity.
