Monoclonal antibody production package details

 
  • Antigen design (design of the most appropriate fragment to be produced)
  • Two gene syntheses (each gene optimized for a specific expression system) and 2 subclonings
  • Expression tests in two systems taken from E. coli, B. subtilis, P. pastoris, insect cells and mammalian cells. To be determined by ProteoGenix.
  • Production of the antigen in the most appropriate expression system depending on the yield and the project requirements.
  • Mice injections (5 mice)
  • Immune response control in Western Blot (WB)
  • Selection of the best two mice for two fusions in order to have a large number and variety of clones
  • Screening of the fusion product directly in Western Blot (WB): around 1000 lanes tested, 42 WB of 24 lanes
  • Subcloning of two parental clones (2-3 rounds of limiting dilutions) in Western Blot (WB)
  • Production and purification of 2mg from the best clone
  • Level 1 : If we don’t succeed in producing an antibody that detects the immunogen in WB, we charge EUR 1 000
  • Level 2 : If we succeed in producing an antibody that works in WB against the immunogen, we charge a part of the cost
  • Level 3 : If after testing the purified antibody the customer wants to receive the hybridoma, we charge the full package price
  • 10 -20 best clones at parental stage for customer’s selection
  • 100 µg of purified antibody to confirm hybridoma purchase
  • 50 µg of purified protein
  After total payment:
