Our Monoclonal Antibody Services
We primarily use mice (typically 4 BALB/c) or rats for our projects, adhering to standard immunisation protocols that can be customised in consultation with our technical team.
Project Phases
Phase 0 – (3-4 weeks)
- Antigen Design and Production: We offer full-spectrum services including the design, production, and conjugation of immunogens and antigens. Our focus on hybridoma technology ensures targeted screening processes that maximise the potential for successful outcomes.
Phase 1 – (2-12 weeks)
- Immunisation and Testing: We immunise four hosts, collect test bleeds, and typically assess immune responses through ELISA titres, ensuring robust data to guide the next steps.
Phase 2 – (3 weeks)
- Fusion and Screening: Fusion of immune cells with myeloma cells followed by screening to identify potentially valuable hybridomas.
Phase 3 – (2-6 weeks)
- Subcloning: Subcloning of selected hits of interest to ensure monoclonality and stability.
Phase 4 – (4 weeks)
- Hybridoma Preparation: This phase involves the preparation and scale-up of hybridomas, including secure cell banking for future use.
Phase 5 – (4-6 weeks)
- Scale-Up: We offer extensive scale-up options, including serum-free media and high-density culture techniques, ensuring scalability for large-scale antibody production.
Phase 6 – (2 weeks)
- Purification and Characterisation: Our final phase includes the purification, buffer exchange, and comprehensive characterisation of your monoclonal antibodies, ensuring they meet your exact specifications.
Common Applications
- ELISA Matched Antibody Pairs: Utilise our optimised protocols and extensive screening capabilities to find ideal pairs for your platform.
- Blocking/Neutralisation Antibodies: Quickly modify methods for early screening to provide dependable blocking/neutralising antibodies.
- IHC/ICC Antibodies: Generate highly specific antibodies tailored for immunohistochemistry (IHC) or immunocytochemistry (ICC) applications.
- Flow Cytometry Antibodies: Benefit from our rigorous protocols for early screening, providing unconjugated or conjugated antibodies to fit your workflow with various fluorophores available for custom conjugation.
