Abstract

The most common in vitro technology to generate human antibodies is phage display. This technology is a key technology to select recombinant antibodies for the use as research tools, in diagnostic tests, and for the development of therapeutics.

In this review, the high-throughput compatible selection of antibodies (scFv) in microtiter plates is described. The given detailed protocols allow the antibody selection (“panning”), screening and identification of monoclonal antibodies in less than 1 week.
