This protocol describes the generation of human antibody libraries in Fab format from 2.5 × 10(7) human peripheral blood or bone marrow mononuclear cells for their subsequent selection by phage display. Although it can be applied to the mining of both human naïve and immune antibody repertoires, the procedure is primarily intended for the generation of fully human monoclonal antibodies from patients with endogenous antibody responses of interest and limited availability of clinical specimens.
