I'm looking for the production of a monoclonal antibody to block a GPI-linked protein who have demonstrated to block cancer growth inducing apoptosis when we silenced it by siRNA. We have thought to produce such an antibody by an hybridoma tecnique but I've learned that there is another technique useful to my scope that is the phage display technique. I'm not clear what are the main differences between the two methods in terms of abilities and characteristics of the produced antibodies? For the production of a functional antibody to be used in a new immunotherapeutic approach for colon cancer treatment, what is to be preferred and why?
