Custom Rat Polyclonal Antibody Services

Bio-Synthesis (BSI) provides polyclonal antibody production in its USDA-licensed facility using pathogen-free, VAF Long-Evans Female rats. 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 1.5 mg conjugated peptide/animal, and 800 µg protein antigen/animal. However, amounts may vary due to antigen availability and additional antigen is required for affinity purification.

Two production schedules are provided for our rat antibody services. We can produce polyclonal antibodies in a few to several hundred rats per run, using our standard protocol or by a customer-designed protocol. We also supply polyclonal production from other species, including goat, sheep, chicken, mouse, rabbit, 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.

Rat Polyclonal Antibody Packages

Don't see what you need? Just ask - in most cases we can accommodate your request. If you require help in choosing the services for your polyclonal antibody production, feel free to consult our experts.

All of our 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.

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).

  • Three rats will be utilized for each MAP-peptide, conjugated - peptide immunogen, or protein immunogen packages
  • Total material required for injection for the program below is 650-800 ug protein/animal, 1.3-1.6 mg peptide/animal conjugate. If we are conjugating your protein we assume a 20% loss of protein during conjugation. Total amount of antiserum expected from a rat on the program below is approximately ~1.5 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 ~6 ml/animal of additional serum taken upon customer request.
