The current invention reports a method for producing an antibody comprising the steps of a) providing a plurality of hybridoma cells each expressing an antibody, b) determining the time dependent amount of said antibody bound to the respective antigen by surface plasmon resonance at different temperatures and different antibody concentrations, c) calculating with the time dependent amount determined in b) based on equations (II) to (XIII) at least the thermodynamic parameters (i) standard association binding entropy formula (A), (ii) standard dissociation binding entropy formula (B), (iii) standard binding entropy (ΔS°), (iv) free standard binding enthalpy (ΔG°), (v) standard dissociation free binding enthalpy formula (C), (vi) standard association free binding enthalpy formula (D), (vii) −TΔS°, (viii) dissociation rate constant kd, (ix) equilibrium binding constant KD, and (x) association rate constant ka, d) selecting a hybridoma cell producing an antibody with at least two of the following: i) a standard association binding entropy of less than 10 J/K*mol, ii) an absolute standard dissociation binding entropy of 100 J/mol*K or more, iii) an absolute standard binding entropy of 100 J/mol*K or more, e) producing an antibody by cultivating said selected cell under conditions suitable for the expression of said antibody and recovering said antibody from the cells or/and the cultivation medium.
