Generation of rabbit monoclonal antibodies using a microfluidic-based screening platform – Year two

Rabbits are increasingly recognized for their superior immune response to antigens and their ability to generate highaffinity monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that can be used as reagents, diagnostics and therapeutics. However, methods for the discovery of rabbit mAbs are limited and extremely cumbersome. This proposal aims at developing a rapid and robust microfluidic-based approach to generate rabbit mAbs by directly screening immune cells for defined antibody properties.
