Neutralizing antibodies provide rapid immune defense against infectious diseases, but are difficult to discover at scale because neutralization assays require live reporter cells and soluble monoclonal antibodies. Here we report Droplet Reporter Cell Testing for Neutralization (DrReCT-Neutralization) to screen antibody gene libraries for their ability to neutralize viral infections. We established the necessary engineered cell lines and validated the DrReCT screening platform using synthetic oligoclonal libraries, followed by an example discovery campaign that demonstrated scalable functional antibody data collection against viral diseases.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
