Though Phage Display has been instrumental in therapeutic antibody development, new challenges have appeared. Neutralizing antibodies can be difficult to obtain from naïve human libraries due to lower affinity & self-tolerance. Combining innovative technologies such as Phage Display libraries supplemented with disease specific patient samples, NGS, AI & humanized mice for single B-cell sorting maximizes the chances of identifying neutralizing antibodies against any target, in particular for autoimmune disorders & cancer.
