SACRI antibody services (SAS) can accommodate all your custom antibody needs.  Select one of our standard antibody production protocols or work with our senior scientists to develop a customized protocol to match your exact requirements.  Our immunochemists have extensive experience in the development of the highest quality antisera to peptides, proteins and more in a variety of host species.  Check out our competitive prices.

We offer a variety of packages for custom antibody services.  When you supply the antigen we can raise monoclonal antibodies in mouse, or produce polyclonal antibodies in mouse or rabbit.  We are currently developing our abilities to raise polyclonal antibodies in several other host animal species (including rat, guinea pig, chicken, and goat) and will offer this service by December 2005.

SAS also provides a comprehensive antibody development project including: peptide immunogen design and synthesis, testing, purification, conjugation, and immunization of rabbits for custom anti-peptide antibody production.

Monoclonal vs. Polyclonal Antibodies

The production or monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies use different techniques, each with unique advantages and selecting one depends upon the intended experimental use.  Monoclonal antibodies are generated by immunizing mice, fusing antibody producing spleen cells with myeloma cells then cloning immortal hybridomas to produce large quantities of the same antibody.  Polyclonal antibodies are developed by repeatedly immunizing host animals (e.g. mouse, rat, guinea pig, rabbit, chicken, goat) then harvesting the antibody rich serum.  Contact us to discuss the various options available.

Monoclonal Polyclonal
  • monospecific antibody - reacts to a single antigenic epitope
  • replenishable source of antibodies - hybridomas are immortal and banked cells can generate your antibody repeatedly
  • diverse mixture of antibodies - reacts with many different epitopes and is more likely to cross-react with your antigen
  • large quantities of antibody can be produced cheaply and quickly
  • larger assortment of host animals available
