Single-Cell Sorting of HBsAg-Binding Memory B Cells from Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells and Antibody Cloning

Summary: The isolation of human antibodies with naturally paired heavy and light chains is crucial for understanding the human antibody immune response. Here, we present a protocol for antibody cloning from the sorted single human memory B cells recognizing hepatitis B virus (HBV) S antigen (HBsAg)....

description Summary: The isolation of human antibodies with naturally paired heavy and light chains is crucial for understanding the human antibody immune response. Here, we present a protocol for antibody cloning from the sorted single human memory B cells recognizing hepatitis B virus (HBV) S antigen (HBsAg). A two-fluorescent-dye labeling strategy against HBsAg allows for an improved sorting specificity, while non-relevant protein staining allows for the exclusion of non-specific B cells. This protocol could also be widely adapted for other antigens.For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Wang et al. (2020).
