Identifying monoclonal antibodies with Quantum-Si’s next-generation protein sequencing technology

29 Aug 2023

Identifying low-abundance monoclonal antibodies in a population of polyclonal antibodies can provide critical insights for diverse applications such as understanding disease mechanisms, disease diagnostics, vaccine development, therapeutic antibody discovery, and serological surveillance. Existing methodologies, despite their utility, come with significant disadvantages including high costs, complex procedures, and time-intensive workflows, which often limit their broad application. In this application note, Quantum-Si presents a method utilizing Quantum-Si’s next-generation protein sequencing technology on the Platinum® instrument to successfully identify two low-abundance monoclonal antibodies in a population of polyclonal antibodies.

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Next Generation SequencingNext-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as whole-genome sequencing, high-throughput sequencing and massive parallel sequencing, produces and analyses thousands to millions of nucleotide sequences at once. Sequencing systems operate via varying technologies depending on the manufacturer, including sequencing by synthesis, ligation, pyrosequencing, ion semiconductor and single-molecule real-time sequencing. For NGS, library preparation is paramount to successful sequencing. In this section, explore a range of library preparation kits, from targeted, amplicon-based or hybridization-based kits including epigenomic, transcriptomic and genomic workflows to fragmentation kits.
