Yes, check MEDLINE for recombinant Ab. gene coded for specific Ab can be 
isolated either from hybridoma of Bcell or just Bcell.
Or you can produce Ab-like protein using gene coded for antigen-receptor from
macrophages and Tcell (isolated by solid phase-affinity traping) without 
immunizing the animal.
