Identifying high-affinity antibodies in human serum is challenging due to extremely low number of circulating B cells specific to the desired antigens. Delays caused by a lack of information on the immunogenic proteins of viral origin hamper the development of therapeutic antibodies. We propose an efficient approach allowing for enrichment of high-affinity antibodies against pathogen proteins with simultaneous epitope mapping, even in the absence of structural information about the pathogenic immunogens.

Article Synopsis
  • A study involving 5,340 residents of Moscow investigated the relationship between immune responses (antibodies and T cells) to SARS-CoV-2 and the likelihood of COVID-19 infection.* -
  • Results showed that individuals with both high T-cell and antibody responses had the lowest risk of infection, while those with only an antibody response also had a strong protective effect.* -
  • The findings highlight that antibody responses are more crucial for protection against SARS-CoV-2 compared to T-cell responses, suggesting potential implications for public health policies related to COVID-19.*

Effective and versatile screening of the peptide ligands capable of selectively binding to diverse receptors is in high demand for the state-of-the-art technologies in life sciences, including probing of specificity of the cell surface receptors and drug development. Complex microenvironment and structure of the surface receptors significantly reduce the possibility to determine their specificity, especially when in vitro conditions are utilized. Previously, we designed a publicly available platform for the ultra-high-throughput screening (uHTS) of the specificity of surface-exposed receptors of the living eukaryotic cells, which was done by consolidating the phage display and flow cytometry techniques.
