Our Antibody Production Process
As a leading antibody production
company, we strive not only at providing best-in-class facilities but also a
broad range of solutions to prudently adapt to each project stipulation. Our ardent
team is also willing to share its long experience with its clients. Significance,
we are currently developing a newer interactive form to guide you to describe
the most relevant antibody production policy for your project.
Why is appropriate antigen
design so crucial for the production of quality antibodies?
Drawing from our widespread
experience in antibody development, we know antibody
production services can make or break any project. To make the
most of your chances of success, we continuously consider the native
conformation of your antigen & the final intended application of your
antibody.
For this, we continuously invest
in antigen design divergence:
Proteins: these classic antigens continue
to be the most significant approach to antibody generation. The use of entire
recombinant proteins guarantees your antibodies recognize a single antigen. But
this method also increases the risks of making antibodies with lower
selectivity and prone to binding preserved domains shared by numerous different
proteins. Here, we can produce proteins in a diversity of recombinant systems.
Mammalian cells: Produce your
protein antigens in CHO or as the best mammalian hosts on the market
Bacterial cells: Make your
antigens in Escherichia coli for higher productivity
Insect cells: Produce your
protein antigens in our insect cells for improved protein folding
DNA: DNA immunization is used for
difficult proteins or transmembrane proteins. The main benefit of DNA
immunization remains the possibility to direct the antigen to its native
conformation.
Peptides: using peptides as an
antigen favours low cross-reactivity & higher specificity. But they are
often less immunogenic due to their smaller size.
Designing a peptide antigen for
antibody manufacture requires considering numerous factors:
Avoid peptides comprising
sequences that are conserved among numerous protein families
Favour flexible &
solvent-exposed sequences which will remain accessible through the process of
antibody generation
Favour hydrophilic arrangements
which are more prone to be solvent-exposed than hydrophobic constructions,
generally hidden in the structure. They are also cooler to solubilize before
injection.
