Abstract

Antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies are useful tools to detect very small amounts of antigenic materials and are applicable for antibody therapeutics. To produce mouse monoclonal antibodies, a hybridoma between B lymphocytes and myeloma cells is used to produce antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies. However, a good hybridoma system is not available to obtain human monoclonal antibodies. To produce antigen-specific human monoclonal antibodies, transformation of B lymphocytes with Epstein-Barr viruses or a phage-display system is used. Here, we describe the screening of antigen-specific, antibody-secreting cells using microwell array chips to obtain antigen-specific human monoclonal antibodies. The system can be applied to screen antigen-specific, antibody-secreting cells from any animal species.
