How to get high affinity antibody?

Human monoclonal antibody (mAbs) are emerging in the field of cancer therapy and have become an increasing proportion of new drugs that are recently approved. Although there are some methods to obtain antigen-specific mAbs from human B cells, it is generally impossible to directly immunize human beings with antigens of interest. For example, for infectious agents, those approaches are largely restricted. To solve these obstacles, two main approaches have been developed; either by humanizing antigen-specific antibodies from small experimental animals (which is laborious due to the great genetic differences from humans) or rely on the in vitro selection of antigen-specific binders from human antibody repertoires. However, the human mAbs developed by these methods are usually with low affinity.

We are now coming up with a much better idea that is humanizing non-human primates mAbs instead of murine mAbs. Due to the close genetic relationship with humans, immunized NHPs have more potential to be isolated with high affinity antibody to human target than other experimental species, such as mouse, rat and rabbit. In addition, with appropriate method, NHP antibodies are much<span> easier to be humanized</span> without any loss of affinity compared to widely used murine antibodies.

Naily [24]

When DNA was discovered, Watson and Crick saw that the strands of the double helix are lined up in the opposite direction of each other. This type of orientation is called the antiparallel orientation.

The antiparallel orientation is a type of orientation showing two polymers present side by side but running in the opposite direction. The best example of this is the deoxyribo nucleic acid (DNA). DNA molecule is made up of a pair of polynucleotide strands which are antiparallel. The antiparallel orientation of the DNA facilitates the hydrogen bonding between the two complimentary strands. This is also important for the processes of DNA replication and transcription.
