[Problems to be Solved] The present invention provides methods for producing antibodies and antibody-producing cells. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides methods for producing antibodies or antibody-producing cells, such methods including the steps of inoculating non-human animals with minus-strand RNA viral vectors carrying nucleic acids which encode foreign polypeptides to be used as antigens, nucleic acids producing the viral vectors, cells into which the vectors or the nucleic acids producing the vectors have been introduced, or lysates of the cells; and collecting the antibodies or antibody-producing cells from the animals. The antibody production can be induced efficiently by the immune activating effect of the minus-strand RNA viral vectors and a high expression of the antigen polypeptides. The antibodies produced by the methods of the present invention can be used in research and development and in the clinical field.
