Single Peptide Polyclonal Antibody Services

Custom Polyclonal Antibody Services

Polyclonal antibody generates from synthetic peptides or protein have become an important reagents to be used as both primary and secondary antibodies in Westerns, ELISAs, and IHCs. Bio-Synthesis' staff are experts in the use of synthetic peptide antigens to target specific antigenic epitopes. All of our custom anti-peptide polyclonal antibody services include peptide design by using our proprietary Antigen IdentifierTM Design Tool to select immunogenic peptide sequences. The overall aim is to identify regions of the protein that are most likely to be accessible on the surface of the full length protein. Furthermore, all procedures performed during immunization are described in our Standard Operation Procedures (SOPs) to ensure the highest level of quality and service.

Antibody derived from synthetic peptide or protein have become an important tools in life science research and diagnostic for protein detection and quantification. Applications include:

  • Protein processing studies
  • Diagnostic tests
  • Protein localization
  • Active site determination
  • Gene product detection and identification
The major challenge encountered when preparing peptide antibodies is their ability to eliciting an immune response and recognize the native protein. Key to success is a proper selection of the peptides used in the immunization process. All of our custom anti-peptide polyclonal antibody services include peptide design by using our proprietary Antigen IdentifierTM Design Tool to select immunogenic peptide sequences. with most advanced algorithms. Each peptide antigen is measured against several protein databases to confirm the desired antibody and epitope specificity. The overall aim is to identify regions of the protein that are most likely to be accessible on the surface of the full length protein. We typically try to suggest three potential peptide candidates to choose from.

The single peptide strategy is best suited for reproducing the previously reported success of a polyclonal production with a known peptide sequence.
Our peptide design strategies
Our Antigen IdentifierTM Design Tool searches and accesses your sequence to identify the best candidate peptides that optimize synthesis success, solubility and antigenicity. Each peptide is compared with BLAST databases of over two dozen species to limit cross-reactivity while improving overall antibody specificity. When examining a protein sequences for potential antigenic epitopes, Our Antigen Identifier program assist you with in predicting protein characteristics such as:
  • Domain exclusion analysis
  • Hydrophobicity and antigenicity analysis
  • Homology search
  • Targeting the N-terminus or C-terminus
  • Continuous versus Discontinuous Epitopes
  • Peptide candidates
  • Coupling strategy
  • Expertise
How to submit peptide antibody design request?
Our peptide antibody design service is free of charge when placing an order for a custom polyclonal antibody project. Please contact us online and provide us with following information:
  • Project Name
  • Accession Number
  • Region: You may specify regions which should be avoided or targeted, by entering one or more intervals separated by commas: e.g. 1-150, 250-350
  • Region Options: Indicate whether the regions specified should be avoided or targeted
  • Protein Sequence: This is the sequence we should search for suitable peptide sequences in the absence of an accession number.
  • Comments: Questions, additional pieces of information, clarifications and comments accompanying an order for peptide design. Please feel free to be verbose and enter as much information as you wish.
