Isolating cells expressing secreted proteins
Abstract:
A method of detecting and isolating cells that produce a secreted protein of interest (POI), for example, an antibody, comprising: a) providing a eukaryotic cell comprising (i) a nucleic acid encoding the POI, and (ii) a nucleic acid encoding a cell surface capture molecule, which comprises a membrane anchor and is capable of binding the POI; (b) culturing the cell under conditions in which the POI and cell surface capture molecule are expressed, and a POI-cell surface capture molecule complex is formed intracellularly and displayed on the cell surface; c) detecting the surface-displayed POI by contacting the cells with a detection molecule, which binds the POI; and d) isolating cells based on the detection molecule.
