Novel Immunomodulatory Proteins Generated via Directed Evolution of Variant IgSF Domains.

abstract：:Antibody evolution studies have been traditionally limited to either tracing a single clonal lineage (B cells derived from a single V-(D)-J recombination) over time or examining bulk functionality changes (e.g., tracing serum polyclonal antibody proteins). Studying a single B cell disregards the majority of the humora...
