Single B Cell-Based Monoclonal Antibody Development Service

Service Overview

Single B cell antibody technology enables the direct isolation of antigen-specific B cells from immunized animals, followed by amplification and recovery of native antibody variable region sequences. Compared with traditional hybridoma methods, this approach shortens the discovery timeline and provides direct access to naturally paired heavy and light chain sequences without the need for cell fusion.

At AbTriva, our single B cell-based monoclonal antibody development service is designed for projects requiring high-affinity antibody discovery, difficult antigen targeting, or rapid sequence recovery workflows. This platform is particularly useful for antigens that are unstable in hybridoma screening or require precise epitope targeting.

We integrate antigen preparation, immunization, B cell isolation, single-cell screening, VH/VL amplification, recombinant expression, and functional validation into a streamlined discovery pipeline.

When to Use Single B Cell Antibody Discovery

This platform is especially suitable for:

For standard screening-heavy workflows or large clone libraries, hybridoma-based approaches may still be preferred depending on project design.

Workflow Overview

Our single B cell antibody discovery workflow is built around rapid identification of antigen-specific B cells and direct antibody gene recovery.

Key Advantages of Single B Cell Technology

1. Direct access to native antibody sequences

No hybridoma fusion step is required, reducing artifacts introduced by cell fusion instability.

2. Faster discovery timeline

Early sequence recovery enables earlier recombinant expression and optimization.

3. High diversity recovery

Improved likelihood of capturing rare high-affinity clones.

4. Recombinant-first workflow compatibility

Sequences are immediately compatible with downstream engineering and production.
