Abstract:
The single-step PCR amplification of IgG Light chain (Lc) and Heavy chain (Hc) (Fd portion) from the cDNAs of a single cell was facilitated using a low concentration of cDNA-specific primers with 5' homotags in the presence of a homotag-specific primer. This method was found to be successful in generating a functional antibody with an antigen-binding activity and useful for the high-throughput generation or screening of monoclonal antibodies.
