This category focuses on processes that isolate and analyze individual B cells to discover new antibodies. It includes emerging technologies, workflow considerations, and scientific findings.
Antibody discovery has traditionally relied on selecting clones based on target binding. However, for therapeutic applications, the desired antibodies must also drive a functional response, such as receptor activation, T cell stimulation, or signaling modulation. Identifying these antibodies early in discovery can significantly reduce downstream risk and accelerate lead optimization.
Over the past four decades, antibody discovery platforms have transformed biotherapeutics. Hybridoma technology, developed in 1975, pioneered the production of monoclonal antibodies, while more recent advances in single B cell screening have expanded access to rare, high-affinity clones.
