  • Patent number: 11634705
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for identifying antibody CDR3 clusters using high speed in vitro screening a library selected from the group consisting of cDNA library and nucleic acid aptamer library comprising: (i) preparing a positive spherical shaped structure by binding a target molecule to a spherical shaped molecule, wherein the target molecule is immobilized on the positive spherical shaped structure, wherein the positive spherical shaped structure may contain a fluorescent label; (ii) preparing a negative spherical shaped structure, wherein the target molecule is not immobilized on the negative spherical shaped structure, wherein the negative spherical shaped structure may contain a fluorescent label; (iii) forming a positive spherical shaped conjugate or a negative spherical shaped conjugate by binding a target detecting molecule capable of binding to the target molecule to the positive spherical shaped structure or to the negative spherical structure, wherein the target

  • Patent number: 10781442
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-speed in vitro screening method for any library selected from the group consisting of a cDNA display library and a nucleic acid aptamer library. This high-speed in vitro screening method involves: (i) a step for preparing positive spherical structures formed by immobilizing a target molecule on a spherical structure and negative spherical structures having no target molecules immobilized thereon; (ii) a step in which a target detection molecule, selected from the aforementioned library having a library size of greater than or equal to 1010, is bonded on each spherical structure to obtain spherical conjugates; (iii) a step in which the spherical conjugates are sorted into positive spherical conjugates and negative spherical conjugates with a cell sorter; (v) a step for supplying the nucleic acid on the surface of the sorted spherical conjugates for PCR; (vi) and a repetition step for repeating steps (i) to (v) above using DNA obtained by PCR.
