Creative Biolabs, with its leading antibody research technology and profound scientific accumulation, introduces antigen-specific B lymphocyte sorting antibody development services for infectious disease research. We specialize in providing a complete custom service from antigen design, animal immunization to specific B cell sorting, cloning, expression, and antibody function validation, dedicated to accelerating research progress and new drug development in the field of infectious diseases.
Antibody development based on antigen-specific B lymphocyte sorting is an advanced biotechnology involving the selection and isolation of B lymphocytes that specifically respond to certain pathogenic antigens. This process typically starts with immunized mice or rabbits, where the antigen stimulates the immune system to produce specific antibodies. Using techniques like flow cytometry, researchers can isolate B cells from these immunized subjects that specifically react to the target antigen. Then, the antibody genes in these cells are cloned using single-cell PCR technology, expressed in vitro, and validated. These antibodies, after screening and optimization, can be used for basic research, therapeutic drug development, or diagnostic reagent development, offering high target specificity and functionality.
Advantages and Limitations of Antibody Development Based on Mouse and Rabbit Antigen-Specific B Lymphocyte Sorting:
Characteristic | Antibody Development in Immunized Mice | Antibody Development in Immunized Rabbits |
Antibody Diversity | Moderate diversity | Higher diversity due to a larger B lymphocyte response repertoire in rabbits |
Affinity | Generally lower | Affinity in rabbit B lymphocytes during maturation can be up to 10-100 times higher than in rodents |
Epitope Coverage | More limited | Broader, especially in terms of epitope variation, mutation, and conformational changes |
Drug Potential | Lower, requires humanization | Validated, higher drug potential |
Antibody Stability | General | High structural stability of rabbit IgG |
Development Speed | Faster than traditional hybridoma technology | Potentially faster than in mice, as positive B lymphocytes can be obtained directly from peripheral blood |
