Generating and improving antibodies and peptides that bind specifically to membrane protein targets such as ion channels and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can be challenging using established selection methods. Current strategies are often limited by difficulties in the presentation of the antigen or the efficiency of the selection process. Here, we report a method for obtaining antibodies specific for whole cell membrane-associated antigens which combines a cell-cell interaction format based on yeast display technology with fluorescence-activated cell sorting of dual fluorescent complexes. Using this method, we were able to direct the affinity maturation of an antagonist antibody specific for the proton-gated ion channel ASIC1a and showed that both the affinity and potency were improved. We were also able to use this method to do kinetic selections to generate clones with better dissociation profiles. In addition, this method was employed successfully to handle the difficult problem of selecting antibodies specific to a GPCR target, the mu-opioid receptor.
