I just remember talks (I was at a cutting-edge immunology research center, The Scripps Research Institute in San Diego) about using mRNA vaccination in the 2007-2009 era to make monoclonal antibodies. Oddly, I can't find any publications from that era on it (but I can find a few papers from 2017-2019 using that exact methodology), so it appears that either i was mistaken, or it quietly pivoted to human vaccination as a target. It's really not possible for me to be mistaken about the timeframe, though, since I have been out of biology since 2015.
