Custom Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Bio-Synthesis (BSI) provides rabbit polyclonal antibody production in its USDA-licensed facility using pathogen-free, barrier-raised New Zealand White Rabbits. These barrier-raised rabbits often produce antibodies with higher titers and provide greater reproducibility more often or between animals more often than conventional animals. We can produce polyclonal antibodies with a wide variety of antigens, from bacteria, viruses, fungi, fusion proteins, synthetic peptides, and plasmid DNA, as well as a variety of other proteins.

Typical antigen requirement is 2 mg conjugated peptide/animal and 1 mg protein antigens/animal. However, amounts may vary due to antigen availability and additional antigen is required for affinity purification.

Three production schedules are provided for our rabbit antibody services. We can produce polyclonal antibodies from a few to several hundred rabbits per run, using our standard protocol or by a customer-designed protocol. We also supply polyclonal production from other species, including goat, sheep, chicken, rat, mouse, and guinea pig. Additional animals are available for all service packages.

BSI supplies a Polyclonal Antibody Information Sheet with each inquiry to assist in meeting our customer specifications.

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody Service Packages

All of our rabbit polyclonal antibody packages can be prolonged with an additional immunization every 28 days which includes two additional serum after the immunization. Production extension is an additional charge of animal maintenance fee.

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody Production Protocols

Develop your own customized host species and immunization schedule and Bio-Synthesis will make it for you.

We offer two standard custom antibody protocols (combinations of hosts and protocol time frame) From peptide design, synthesis, and conjugation, to antibody generation and purification, Bio-Synthesis offers a complete package to meet your protein detection needs. User-design production protocol also available and can also be modified from existing package.
Serum Production Specification:
Immunization schedule listed below are approximate (± 2 days).

  • Two New Zealand white rabbits will be utilized for each MAP-peptide, conjugated-peptide immunogen, or protein immunogen packages
  • Total material required for injection for the program below is 650-900 ug protein/animal, 2 mg conjugated peptide/animal. If we are conjugating your protein we assume a 20% loss of protein during conjugation. Total amount of antiserum expected from a rabbit on the program below is approximately ~50-75 mL/animal.
  • Immunogen is emulsified in Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA) for initial injections. Freund's Incomplete Adjuvant (FIA) is used for all subsequent injections (boosts).
  • Continuation of project past our standard immunization schedule is offered on a month to month basis. The standard extension protocol includes two boosters, one serum collection, and maintenance for one month. Terminal bleeds may be obtained at any time yielding approximately ~75 ml/animal of additional serum taken upon customer request.
