摘要:
The invention generally suggests a quantitative detection method (1) for a target (2), whereby the target (2), a first probe (3), and a second probe (4) are mixed, wherein the first and second probes (3, 4) bind to the target (2) and wherein a presence of the first probe (3) can be distinguished from a presence of the second probe (4), wherein the mixture (5) of the target (2) and the first and second probes (3, 4) is partitioned in countable compartments (6), wherein a quantity relating to a number of compartments (6), a quantity relating to a number of compartments (6) where at least the first probe (3) is present, a quantity relating to a number of compartments (6) where at least the second probe (4) is present and a quantity relating to a number of compartments (6) where both the first probe (3) and the second probe (4) are present are determined and wherein a quantity relating to a number of compartments (6) that contain the target (2) is determined automatically from the determined quantities (Fig. Fig. 6).

This disclosure provides a means capable of separating a target substance regardless of types (charge) of the target substance. A separation method for a target substance according to this disclosure includes: forming a target substance-magnetic particle complex using a sample containing a target substance and magnetic particles to which a first receptor that specifically recognizes a site of the target substance is fixed; and separating the target substance-magnetic particle complex by magnetism and electrophoresis.

The invention provides cell-based methods for diversifying, expressing and selecting binding molecules, e.g., antibodies, and target molecules to which they bind, all of which are expressed in the same cell. The target molecule can be a member of a ligand binding pair comprising a cell-surface expressed ligand binding receptor molecule and its cognate ligand, which interact within the cell. The methods provide retaining either the antibody or its target in a cell organelle as the site of binding and interaction. By performance of the methods, the binding or non-binding of the antibody to its target molecule within the cell produces a cell phenotype that is detectable at the cell surface via high throughput assays, e.g., flow cytometry. The methods are particularly useful for generating, recovering and providing antibodies that have optimal target molecule binding properties or activities for potential therapeutic use. Methods for generating genetic diversity and increased binding properties for such antibodies are also provided.
