In vitroimmunization can to used to produce monoclonal antibodies(mAbs), but this technology is limited by poor reproducibility and the requirement of pre-immunized lymphocytes. To improve this approach, we recently developed a method for rapid generation of antigen-specific B cells. Here, we report the application of this system to the production of human IgGs against tumor necrosis factor (TNF). We expressed mutant proteins with site-specific incorporated p-nitrophenylalanine (pNO2Phe), which stimulated anin vitroimmune response in human immune cells. After constructing an antigen-specific antibody library fromin vitroimmunized B cells identified by fluorescence-activated cell sorting, we demonstrated that many point mutation events of the variable region occurred in our step-by-step co-cultivation system for affinity maturationin vitro. To mimic the class switching, we panned for high-affinity antigen-binding fragments by the phage display method, assembled them and identified hTNF-neutralizing human IgGs. This approach may provide a general method for raising high-affinity monoclonal antibodies against self-proteins. Furthermore, it supports mechanistic understanding in breaking human self-tolerance withpNO2Phe.
