Abstract

We developed ISAAC (Immunospot assay for antibody-secreting cell) method that can detect antibody-secreting cells in a microwell using murine system. We then succeeded in generating high-quality human monoclonal antibodies for hepatitis B virus and influenza virus from vaccinated healthy volunteers using the ISAAC method in a very short time ; within one week. We further developed an in vitro assay system to examine the HBV-neutralizing activity of human anti-HBs antibodies and clarified the relationship between neutralizing activity of human mAbs and epitopes of HBs antigen.
