Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) in combination with yeast surface display (YSD) has proven to be a valuable tool for the engineering of antibodies. It enables the fast and robust identification and isolation of candidates with prescribed characteristics from combinatorial libraries. A novel application for FACS and YSD that has recently evolved addresses the engineering of antibodies toward pH-switchable antigen binding, aiming at reduced binding at acidic pH, compared to neutral pH. Therefore, we give guidance for the incorporation of such pH switches into antibody variable domains using combinatorial histidine scanning libraries. The protocol describes a flow cytometric sorting technique for the enrichment of antigen-specific molecules. Moreover, we provide information on how to screen the obtained antibody pools from initial sorting to isolate and characterize pH-sensitive variants.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
