Abstract: Provided herein is an antigen display library for detecting antibodies produced by an individual; and methods of using the antigen display library to generate an antibody signature, the method comprising contacting a biological sample containing antibodies from an individual with the antigen display library, isolating phage clones displaying antigenic epitopes recognized by antibody in the sample, and identifying the antigenic epitopes that were recognized by antibody in the sample. Also provided are kits for generating an antibody signature comprising the antigen display library, a substrate for isolating phage clones bound by antibody, and may further comprise reagents useful for generating the antibody signature.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods of expanding B cells, and in particularly B10 cells capable of producing IL-10, ex vivo. The methods include incubation of harvested B cells in the presence of IL-21. Compositions comprising the ex vivo expanded B cells and methods of using the expanded B cell-containing compositions to treat diseases or conditions are also provided. Methods of assessing B10 cell function in a subject are also provided.

Abstract: Provided are feeder cell lines that can be used to expand and differentiate B cells in vitro, a method for expanding B cells in vitro comprising culturing the B cells with the feeder cell line, and a method for producing monoclonal antibody in vitro comprising culturing a single B cell with the feeder cell line under sufficient conditions and for sufficient time to induce expansion and differentiation of the B cell into a B cell done secreting antibody.
