A method of producing an antibody comprising an unnatural amino acid (UAA), the method comprising culturing a cell with:
- (i) a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a tRNA comprising an anticodon that hybridizes to a codon selected from UAG, UGA, and UAA, and is capable of being charged with the unnatural amino acid (UAA);
- (ii) a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase capable of charging the tRNA with the unnatural amino acid (UAA);
- and
- (iii) a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a heavy chain, light chain or a combination of a heavy chain and light chain of the antibody and comprising the codon selected from UAG, UGA, and UAA;
- under conditions that permit the tRNA, when expressed in the cell and charged with the unnatural amino acid (UAA), to hybridize to the codon and direct the incorporation of the unnatural amino acid (UAA) into the antibody;
- wherein the antibody heavy chain, or a fragment thereof, comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
