Kinetic analysis of antibodies is crucial in both clone selection and characterization. Historically, antibodies in supernatants from hybridomas are selected based on a solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in which the antigen is immobilized on the assay plate. ELISA selects clones based on a combination of antibody concentration in the supernatant and affinity. The antibody concentration in the supernatant can vary significantly and is typically unknown. Using the ELISA method, clones that express high levels of a low-affinity antibody can give an equivalent signal as clones that express low levels of a high-affinity antibody. As a consequence, using the ELISA method, superior clones can be overshadowed by inferior clones. In this study, we have applied Bio-Layer Interferometry to screen hybridoma clones based on disassociation rates using the OctetRED 384 platform. Using the OctetRED platform, we were able to screen 2000 clones within 24 hours and select clones containing high-affinity antibodies for further expansion and subsequent characterization. Using this method, we were able to identify several clones producing high-affinity antibodies that were missed by ELISA.

CD28 is a costimulatory receptor that provides the second signal necessary for T-cell activation and is associated with diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and cancer. Targeting CD28 is crucial for both functional bioanalysis and therapeutic development. Molecular probes, particularly fluorescent probes, can enhance our understanding of CD28's cellular roles.

There is no established treatment for late or chronic antibody-mediated rejection of a kidney graft. Rituximab-based treatment is not effective, since long-lived high-affinity plasma cells do not express CD20 and do not depend on previous maturation steps to generate donor-specific antibodies. Conversely, daratumumab, an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, directly targets plasma cells, with proven efficacy in multiple myeloma.

Allergic reactions to foods are primarily driven by allergen-binding immunoglobulin (Ig)E antibodies. IgE-expressing cells can be generated through direct switching from IgM to IgE or a sequential class switching pathway where activated B cells first switch to an intermediary isotype, most frequently IgG1, and then to IgE. It has been proposed that sequential class switch recombination is involved in augmenting the severity of allergic reactions, generating high affinity IgE, differentiation of IgE plasma cells, and in holding the memory of IgE responses.

IgE acts primarily via the high affinity IgE receptor (FcεRI) and is central to immediate hypersensitivity reactions (anaphylaxis). However, IgE is also important in the development of chronic hypersensitivity reactions (allergy). In the cardiovascular system, numerous clinical studies have investigated serum IgE levels, mainly in the context of myocardial infarction, and have established a clear association between IgE and ischemic cardiac events.

- FT596 is a novel cancer therapy using iPSC-derived CAR NK cells targeting CD19, designed to assess its safe dosage and effectiveness alone and with rituximab in patients with B-cell lymphoma.
- This phase 1 trial involved patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma, administering FT596 after chemotherapy, with separate regimens for those receiving rituximab and those who did not.
- The study measured potential side effects while determining the optimal dose of FT596 and allowed modifications to the treatment based on patient tolerance and response.
