Antibody Production in Rabbits The standard 13 week antibody production schedule includes 2 rabbits and provides 1 pre-immune serum collection, 4 immunizations, and 2-3 production bleeds (at roughly 20-25ml serum each) per animal, for a total of approximately 80-100 ml of polyclonal anti-sera. Final delivery can be choice of 80-100 ml anti-sera or 3-5 mg affinity purified antibody in lyophilized powder. $695.00
 
Antibody Production in Chickens The standard 13 week antibody production schedule includes 2 chickens and provides 1 pre-immune serum collection, 4 immunizations, 4 test bleeds (at roughly 1ml serum each) and 4 egg collection periods per animal. Each chicken will normally produce 2 to 3 eggs per week, with each yolk providing approximately 15ml of antibodies, for a total of approximately 80-100 ml of antibody. Final delivery can be choice of 80-100 ml antibodya or 3-5 mg affinity purified antibody in lyophilized powder. $695.00
 
Antibody Production in Goats The standard 13 week antibody production schedule in 1 goat provides 1 pre-immune serum collection, 4 immunizations, and 4 production bleeds (at roughly 125 ml serum each) for a total of approximately 500ml of polyclonal anti-sera. Final delivery can be choice of 500 ml anti-sera or 10-15 mg affinity purified antibody in lyophilized powder. $995.00
 
 
Guidelines:
-For Rabbit/Chicken projects, a minimum of 5 mg of the antigen is required.
-For Goat projects, a minimum of 7-10 mg of antigen is required.
-A protein concentration of 1mg/ml is preferred.
-If providing a gel strip, please stain with coomassie blue, de-stain, rinse and cut out the strip containing the desired protein. Please avoid freezing or further cutting of the strip so that an appropriate amount of the strip can be used for immunization based on the concentration.
