A GENERAL METHOD FOR GENERATING HUMAN ANTIBODY RESPONSES IN VITRO

摘要

This invention relates to an in vitro method of producing antigen specific B cells and antibodies that provides for the capture of an entire primary human antibody repertoire for any foreign antigen, allows for screening large numbers of immunogen/adjuvant combinations, and permits the isolation of human monoclonal antibodies on demand thereby obviating the need to immunize humans with the target antigen.
