The immune cell profiling capabilities of single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) are powerful tools that can be applied to the design of theranostic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Using scRNA-seq to determine natively paired B-cell receptor (BCR) sequences of immunized mice as a starting point for design, this method outlines a simplified workflow to express single-chain antibody fragments (scFabs) on the surface of yeast for high-throughput characterization and further refinement with directed evolution experiments. While not extensively detailed in this chapter, this method easily accommodates the implementation of a growing body of in silico tools that improve affinity and stability among a range of other developability criteria (e.g., solubility and immunogenicity).
