High-throughput antibody production.
Proteome-wide sets of antibodies would be an invaluable research resource for use in highly parallel assays such as microarrays. Such assays could provide deeper insights into biology and a wealth of information for clinical diagnostics. However, the rate of discovery of new proteins far exceeds the antibody supply currently produced from traditional animal-based systems. To address this problem, a variety of improvements in antibody production have been developed, including improved animal-based technologies, new antibody structures with superior performances, faster and more discriminating screening techniques, and rapid validation methods. Many of these technologies are amenable to automation, allowing antibody production throughput to significantly increase.
