Mouse Single B Sorting Service
The preparation of monoclonal antibodies against single B cells by Alpha Lifetech is based on facs cell sorting, which utilizes the characteristic of each B cell producing only one specific antibody to directly amplify antibody genes from single B cells and obtain specific antibodies through recombinant expression. Based on single-cell technology, positive B cells can be directly obtained from peripheral blood after animal immunization and antibody gene sequences can be cloned. The obtained rabbit monoclonal antibodies have outstanding advantages such as high specificity, high activity, and high affinity. In order to meet the different needs of customers, Alpha Lifetech can provide one-stop technical services from antigen design, synthesis and modification, to animal immunization, high-throughput screening of single B cells, NGS sequencing, expression and purification, functional verification, etc.
B cells originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. After a series of differentiation processes, hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow gradually transform into mature B cells. These differentiation processes include multiple stages, such as pluripotency stage, pre B cell stage, lymph node development stage, and mature B cell stage. Among them, pre-B cells undergo a round of screening in the bone marrow or thymus, and only B cells that can recognize antigens outside their own tissues can further develop and mature. Mature B cells have high specificity.
The preparation technology of single B cell antibodies is based on a combination of Ig gene sequence analysis and single-cell level Ig reactivity analysis. Using cell sorting and sequencing technology, only a small number of cells are needed to obtain the gene expressing the antibody. Then, through in vitro expression, a large number of specific monoclonal antibodies targeting specific antigens can be rapidly produced in a short period of time.
Mouse single B cell Screening Service Process
It is necessary to isolate single B cells that can target specific antigens from immunized mice. When conducting Mouse Single B Cell Sorting, the selection and handling of mice are important, and healthy mice with normal immune function should be selected. Before sorting, mice need to be treated appropriately, such as rapid neck amputation to avoid splenic infarction, and they should be soaked in 75% alcohol for disinfection. After separation, the spleen should be placed in a sterile ring. According to the number of spleen cells, an appropriate grinding method should be selected to obtain sufficient cell suspension. Cells need to be washed to remove impurities and red blood cells. The cell concentration is generally adjusted to 100x10 ^ 6/500 μl. B cells in peripheral blood or spleen are enriched to improve sorting efficiency. By using facs cell sorting to selectively sort enriched B cells, based on the expression patterns of cell surface markers, facs cell sorting can efficiently identify B cells. The sorted individual B cells are lysed to release their nucleic acids. The mRNA inside the cell is reversed by RT-PCR, and primers are designed based on the genes of the variable heavy chain and variable light chain of the target antibody. The variable region sequence is then amplified by PCR. On this basis, NGS sequencing was used to sequence and analyze the antibody variable region genes encoded by these B cells, in order to obtain their gene sequence information. The variable region sequence was inserted into a vector plasmid containing a constant region gene, and a plasmid expressing monoclonal antibodies was obtained. According to the requirements, a suitable expression system is selected to obtain antibodies, and antibody labeling and other operations can be performed on the obtained antibodies.

application of single B cell Sorting Technology
With the continuous development of technology, single B cell technology has been used in more and more fields. Single B cell technology can be used to prepare antibodies against specific pathogens, such as HIV antibodies, tetanus antibodies, hepatitis B antibodies and influenza antibodies, for disease prevention and treatment. Single B cell antibody technology can isolate specific B cells targeting tumor antigens and prepare efficient anti-tumor monoclonal antibodies, which can be used for tumor diagnosis and treatment. By isolating B cells targeting pathogen antigens, efficient and specific vaccine candidate antigens can also be prepared, which is helpful for vaccine development. Taking mouse single B cells as an example, through mouse single B cell sorting, B cells that only respond to specific antigens can be screened from a large population of B cells in immunized mice. The antibodies produced by these B cells have high specificity and affinity, and can be used for antibody discovery. Traditional methods for antibody discovery take longer and are more expensive, while mouse single-cell sorting technology can shorten the time required for antibody preparation. After obtaining specific B cells in mice, the gene sequence of antibodies can also be quickly obtained, and recombinant antibodies can be constructed. Mouse single-cell sorting technology can also be used to study human B cell responses. When tumor specific B cells in cancer patients are sorted out, antibody drugs targeting specific tumor antigens can be prepared for targeted therapy. In addition, mouse single-cell sorting is beneficial for studying the functions and mechanisms of the immune system, such as the laws of B cell development and differentiation, as well as the regulatory mechanisms of immune response.
