“…Other strategies exist to isolate human antigen-specific mAbs from immunized donors, such as the direct sequencing of VH and VL domains by RNA sequencing (scRNA seq) of purified single antigen-specific memory B cells or antibody-secreting plasma cells [ 1 , 25 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. These, however, are time-consuming, require subcloning of VH/VL sequences in plasmid vectors, transfection in mammalian cells, and purification of recombinant mAbs before functional assays can be performed.…”
