What is Single B Cell antibody technology?

Single B Cell antibody technology enables the isolation and screening of individual antigen-specific B cells directly from the immune repertoire. It preserves natural VH/VL pairing, enabling rapid recovery of sequence-defined monoclonal antibody candidates.

  • High-throughput screening

    Up to 960 cells/run

    Antigen-specific single B cells isolated for downstream screening and characterization.

  • Application relevance

    11 applications

    Antibodies validated in the assay relevant to your project.

  • Native antibody biology

    Natural VH/VL pairing

    Preserve the native heavy- and light-chain combination of each selected B cell.

What is your project focused on?

Planning a diagnostic or research project? Tell us your target, antigen format and final assay. If you need recognition of a native membrane target, discrimination between modified and unmodified antigen, cross-reactivity control, or a matched antibody pair, include this in your request so our scientists can adapt the screening strategy from the beginning.

Validate the Single B Cell antibodies in your lab

Test the antibodies in your own laboratory, under your real experimental conditions, before accepting the final delivery. You only pay in full for antibodies that perform in your application.

Rabbit Single B Cell screening

Rabbit monoclonal antibodies with Single B Cell screening: reaching picomolar affinity

Rabbit immune repertoires offer high antibody diversity, picomolar-range affinities, and broad epitope coverage, making them particularly valuable for demanding diagnostic applications. Single B Cell screening enables direct selection of the best candidates from this repertoire.

  • 3 clones guaranteed: if we do not deliver, you do not pay the full price.
  • Picomolar-range affinity: ideal for high-sensitivity immunoassays and lateral flow assays (LFA).
  • Test in your own lab: evaluate the best candidates under your own experimental conditions before final acceptance.

    NeutAb protocol

    Competitive ELISA screening to identify clones with blocking or neutralizing activity against the active site of your target

  • Selectivity

    Counter-screening protocol

    Negative ELISA screening against a counter-antigen to confirm selectivity and exclude cross-reactive clones

  • Cross-reactivity

    Cross-reactivity protocol

    Positive/negative ELISA screening against a second antigen (protein, peptide, or small molecule) to profile selectivity or confirm cross-species binding

Single B Cell workflow :
From immunization to validated binders

One integrated workflow connects immunization, antigen-specific B-cell isolation, functional screening, VH/VL sequence recovery and recombinant antibody production.

Single B Cell workflow

  • High-Throughput B-Cell Isolation
    Up to 960 antigen-specific B cells are isolated per run using high-resolution FACS, with each cell individually sorted and cultured.

  • Functional Validation & Antigen Positivity Confirmation
    Each sorted B cell is monitored and tested to confirm antigen-specific binding, ensuring only truly positive clones move forward.

  • Ranking & Top Candidate Selection
    Validated clones are ranked by performance. The top 10 highest-performing B-cell clones are selected for downstream processing.

  • VH/VL Sequence Recovery
    Heavy and light chain variable sequences are recovered from the top clones using a validated amplification workflow that preserves natural VH/VL pairing.

  • Recombinant Antibody Production
    Selected sequences are expressed in ProteoGenix’s CHO platform to produce recombinant antibodies at scale.

  • QC & Functional Validation
    Produced antibodies undergo quality control and functional validation to confirm performance and suitability for the project’s application.

What determines the exact workflow? Antigen format, immune response, required specificity, final assay, desired cross-reactivity and whether you need binding-only or functional screening. Contact us with these parameters and our scientists can recommend the appropriate project design.

Immunization options for Single B Cell antibody screening

The quality of a Single B Cell screening campaign starts with the immunization strategy. ProteoGenix supports several species and antigen formats so antigen presentation can be adapted to the biology of your target and to the antibody profile you need to recover.

Which species can be immunized?

Standard Single B Cell programmes are available in mouse, rabbit and IP-free humanized mice. The page also supports work from suitable client-provided samples depending on project feasibility.

What types of antigen can we use?

  • Recombinant proteins

    Including challenging targets such as membrane proteins (GPCRs, ion channels), multi-domain complexes, and low-immunogenicity antigens.

  • Peptides

    Ideal for high specificity, PTM detection, or when the protein is unavailable.

  • Post-translational modifications

    Phosphorylation, acetylation, methylation… with modified vs. unmodified antibody validation.

  • Haptens & small molecules

    Conjugated to KLH or BSA. From pesticides, steroids and toxins to lipids, nucleotides, amino acids and saccharides…

  • Whole cells & VLPs

    Cell-based immunization and panning for membrane proteins in native conformation.

  • DNA constructs

    Useful when the protein is hard to produce. Combines advantages of protein and peptide immunization.

Testimonial · University College London, Respiratory Medicine

“I was immediately impressed by the speed of the response and initial virtual meeting where it was clear from the questions I was being asked and the pragmatic discussion that ProteoGenix’s staff knew the biology very well and had extensive experience in this area and these weren’t salespeople but scientists.”
“We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ProteoGenix to any lab – especially labs that have a challenging project where a collaboration rather than a simple service agreement is likely to be far more productive.”

Single B-cell antibodies for a novel sepsis diagnostic

ProteoGenix partnered with MicrosensDx to develop antibodies for a novel sepsis diagnostic approach. Using our Single B-cell screening platform, we generated antibodies capable of specifically recognizing the oxidized form of a novel biomarker.

“ProteoGenix is a logical partner for us, sharing our belief in the need to radically improve sepsis diagnosis and outcomes for patients and their families. The company’s antibody expertise and technical knowhow will be essential in ensuring consistent assay performance as we move towards clinical testing.”

Simon Walker,
CEO of MicrosensDx
