Single B Cell Sorting Service

At Grace Lifetech, our Single B Cell Sorting Service offers a cutting-edge approach to the rapid and efficient production of highly specific monoclonal antibodies. By isolating individual B cells from immunized animals or humans, we can directly access the genetic information of antibodies produced during a natural immune response. This advanced method enables us to produce monoclonal antibodies with unparalleled speed, precision, and diversity, making it ideal for therapeutic, diagnostic, and research applications.

Why Choose Single B Cell Sorting?

  1. Fast and Efficient Antibody Discovery
    Single B cell sorting significantly accelerates the timeline for monoclonal antibody discovery. Unlike traditional hybridoma or phage display methods, which can take months, single B cell sorting allows for rapid identification of antigen-specific B cells and antibody gene sequences in a matter of weeks.
  2. High-Affinity Antibodies
    By isolating B cells directly from the immune system, this method yields naturally matured antibodies with high affinity and specificity. These antibodies are ideal for applications requiring precise target recognition, such as therapeutic antibody development, diagnostics, and biomarker detection.
  3. Broad Epitope Coverage
    Single B cell sorting allows for the identification of antibodies that recognize a wide range of epitopes, including rare or unique epitopes that may be difficult to detect with traditional approaches. This enhances the ability to generate antibodies against challenging targets, including viruses, cancer cells, and complex antigens.
  4. Human and Animal B Cell Sorting
    Our platform enables the isolation of B cells from both human donors and a variety of immunized animal species (e.g., mice, rabbits, or non-human primates). This flexibility allows for the generation of human or animal-derived antibodies depending on your project’s specific needs.
  5. Direct Access to In Vivo Antibody Repertoires
    Single B cell sorting provides direct access to the natural antibody repertoires generated by the immune system in response to immunization or infection. This results in highly functional antibodies with enhanced biological activity and therapeutic potential.

Our Single B Cell Sorting Workflow

  1. Antigen Design and Immunization
    We begin by designing or optimizing the antigen to ensure a robust immune response. If working with animal models, we immunize the animals (mouse, rabbit, etc.) with your antigen of interest. For human samples, we collect peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from immunized or infected individuals, or patients with naturally occurring antibodies.
  2. Single B Cell Isolation and Sorting
    Using advanced flow cytometry and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), we isolate individual B cells that express antigen-specific antibodies. By labeling the target antigen with a fluorescent marker, we can identify and sort the B cells that produce antibodies with high affinity for your antigen of interest.
  3. Antibody Gene Amplification and Cloning
    After isolating individual B cells, we recover the genetic information for both the heavy and light chains of the antibody by amplifying the antibody genes using RT-PCR. We then clone these genes into expression vectors for recombinant production in mammalian or other suitable expression systems.
  4. Antibody Expression and Screening
    Once cloned, we express the antibodies recombinantly and perform functional screening to assess their binding affinity, specificity, and biological activity. We use high-throughput assays, including ELISA, flow cytometry, and functional assays, to identify the best-performing antibodies.
  5. Antibody Production and Purification
    After screening, we scale up the production of the top-performing antibodies. We use advanced purification methods, such as protein A/G affinity chromatography, to deliver high-quality, pure antibodies that are ready for your downstream applications.
  6. Characterization and Quality Control
    Each antibody undergoes comprehensive characterization and quality control, including isotyping, binding affinity measurement, and functional validation. We ensure that all antibodies meet your desired specifications for purity, yield, and performance.

Applications of Single B Cell Sorting

  • Therapeutic Antibody Development
    Single B cell sorting is ideal for identifying antibodies with therapeutic potential. By isolating naturally high-affinity antibodies from immunized animals or human donors, this method accelerates the discovery of lead candidates for cancer immunotherapy, infectious disease treatment, autoimmune disease management, and more.
  • Vaccine Development
    Generate high-affinity antibodies against viral or bacterial pathogens, which can be used to develop new vaccines or study immune responses to infectious agents. Single B cell sorting allows for the rapid identification of neutralizing antibodies that target viral entry proteins or other essential epitopes.
  • Diagnostic Antibody Generation
    Produce monoclonal antibodies for use in diagnostic assays, such as ELISA, lateral flow tests, and biosensor platforms. Single B cell sorting enables the rapid generation of highly specific antibodies that can detect disease biomarkers or pathogens with high sensitivity.
  • Rare Epitope Identification
    Single B cell sorting is particularly effective for identifying antibodies that bind to rare or hidden epitopes, making it a powerful tool for generating novel antibodies against complex or difficult-to-target antigens.
