Monoclonal antibodies have attracted attention clinically as promising therapeutic agents for immunotherapy against various malignancies because of their high specificity and low toxicity. In the clinical application of mAb, immunogenicity of mAb is one of the major concerns. We have developed immunospot array assay on a chip (ISAAC) technology using chips with an array of microwells [1], which enables direct identification of Ag-specific Ab-secreting cells (ASC) from human peripheral blood lymphocytes and rapid cloning of Ab cDNA, leading to easy, efficient and rapid production of human mAb. However, the limitation of immunizing volunteers with Ag hampers its application for the production of human mAb for desired Ag. In this study, we used the ISAAC method in combination with TransChromo (TC) mice that contain human chromosome fragments encoding the entire human immunoglobulin H-chain and kL-chain loci [2] for isolating fully human mAb specific to TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-receptors type 1 with the object of cancer immunotherapy. TRAIL receptors are expressed in a wide variety of tumor cell types as well as normal cell types. TRAIL induces apoptosis in a wide variety of human cancer cell lines by activating two functional receptors, TRAIL-
