Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Cell Biology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are valuable tools in medicine and research.
  • Their production is costly, hindered by the difficulty of isolating specific antigen-presenting cells.
  • Current cell screening methods are often suboptimal for identifying rare cell populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an advanced cell-sorting array for high-throughput screening.
  • To demonstrate a proof-of-concept for detecting cell-secreted factors and antibody-secreting cells.
  • To enable efficient recovery of antibody-secreting cells for genetic analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a cell-sorting array using nanoliter spherical cell culture compartments called microbubble (MB) wells.
  • Demonstration of factor accumulation and affinity capture within MB wells.
  • Implementation of rapid image capture and analysis for large MB arrays.

Main Results:

  • Successful detection of cell-secreted factors from immortalized cell lines and primary B cells.
  • On-chip detection and recovery of antibody-secreting cells demonstrated.
  • High-throughput screening capabilities for heterogeneous cell samples were established.

Conclusions:

  • Microbubble well arrays offer a promising advanced on-chip cell sorting technology.
  • This technology can significantly improve the efficiency and speed of cell screening.
  • It lays the groundwork for future applications in antibody discovery and production.
