Single B cell antibody is a newly developed approach for rapidly discovering monoclonal antibodies from single B cells. Each B cell can produce only one antibody with defined specificity and a pair of fully functional heavy and light chains. Monoclonal antibodies can be generated by the direct amplification of genes encoding the VH and VL regions from a single B cell.

Currently, single B cell screening is a robust platform that offers various advantages: efficient speed, high throughput, and native VH-VL pairing. Nikebio provides a one-stop single B cell screening and assay service, from immunogen preparation to single B cell sorting, identification, and B cell antibody production.
