Monoclonal antibodies gain ever-increasing importance in the treatment of human diseases across a broad range of indications. Diverse technologies currently exist, which are used to generate recombinant therapeutic antibodies that are basically indistinguishable from naturally occurring human immunoglobulins. We describe how human combinatorial antibody libraries are used together with unique optimization techniques to produce such therapeutically relevant proteins, for instance in the areas of oncology and inflammation.
