The invention provides methods for screening multimeric antibodies produced by mammalian cells to find those that exhibit a biological function. The methods can be used to screen large numbers of antibodies, which may be cell surface, secreted, or intracellular antibodies. Antibodies can be screened to find those that bind antigen more avidly or those that compete with a ligand that binds to the antigen for binding. Any biological function that can be tested in vitro can be used to screen the antibodies. Nucleic acids encoding the antibodies that exhibit the biological function can be obtained in a number of ways.

L'invention concerne des procédés pour cribler des anticorps multimères produits par des cellules mammaires, afin de déterminer ceux qui présentent une fonction biologique. Ces procédés peuvent servir à cribler un grand nombre d'anticorps, lesquels peuvent être dans une surface cellulaire, sécrétés ou intracellulaires. Des anticorps sont criblés pour déterminer ceux qui lient un antigène de façon plus avide ou ceux qui sont en concurrence avec un ligand liant l'antigène pour la liaison. Toute fonction biologique qui peut être testée in vitro peut servir au criblage de ces anticorps. Des acides nucléiques codant lesdits anticorps à fonction biologique peuvent être obtenus de différentes manières.
