Jin and colleagues introduce a new chip-based system for the rapid identification and isolation of single antigen-specific antibody–secreting cells from human peripheral blood lymphocytes. The approach can be used to detect antibody-secreting cells for multiple antigens on the same chip and should have advantages over current technologies for isolating and producing human monoclonal antibodies of clinical significance.
