1-80403: Custom Monospecific Antibody Production
Introduction:
This package is designed for generating affinity purified polyclonal antibodies against a synthesized peptide.
 
What is included with this package:
Service Details Price
Monospecific Antibody Production in Rabbits -Synthesis of up to a 18aa peptide
-Conjugation of the peptide to a carrier protein
-14 week antibody production schedule, which includes 2 rabbits and provides 1 pre-immune serum collection, 4 immunizations, and 4 production bleeds (at roughly 20-25ml serum each) per animal, for a total of approximately 160-200ml of polyclonal anti-sera
-ELISA on the first bleed to determine antibody titer against the peptide
-Affinity purification of 25ml of antiserum from the third bleed
$1595.00
 
Peptide Cost per each additional peptide residue over the 18 residues included with the package. $25.00
 
 
Guidelines:
-Antigen Design Assistance is included at no extra charge
-Typically, 45-55mg of peptide will be synthesized (at immunograde purity)
-Customers will receive all peptide that is not used for the project.
-Generally, it is preferable to add a cysteine to the N or C terminal of the peptide (if no internal cysteines are present in the sequence) for conjugation to the carrier protein.
-The affinity column is included with the package so that additional purifications can be run in your lab (or by Pacific Immunology).
-On average, 2-3mg of specific antibody will be obtained from each purification of 25ml of antiserum.
-In comparison to monoclonal antibodies, affinity purified polyclonal antibodies are generally 1/6th of the price and can be obtained in 1/3rd of the time.
-With carefully chosen immunogenic peptides and additional purifications, very large quantities of purified monospecific antibodies can be obtained. Monoclonal antibodies will still be better suited for applications requiring very large quantities of identical antibody, such as diagnostic kits and therapeutic treatments.
