Library:library screening technologies hold substantial promise for paired antibody:antigen discovery, but challenges have persisted. In this issue of Cell Reports Methods, Wagner et al. introduce a method that combines antibody-ribosome-mRNA complexes, antigen cell surface display, and single-cell RNA sequencing to successfully screen diverse antibody gene libraries against a library of viral receptor proteins.

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
