Custom Monoclonal Antibody Production

Although BioServUK treats each contract as a custom project, most of the following elements are applicable and help to ensure a quality product is produced:

Consultation with client to discuss antigen selection

Discussion of suitable screening methods relevant to end use assay

Project segmentation to evaluate each milestone reached

Full confidentiality assured

Phase

Time Scale

Process

I: Antigen design & immunisation 6-10 Weeks
  • Design and preparation of protein/cellular antigens
  • Determination of serum titer in end use assays
II: Cell fusion & screening of candidate colonies 3-6 Weeks
  • Hybridoma fusion and consequent ELISA screen to detect positive ‘binders’
  • Small scale expansion and cryopreservation of initial positives
III: Limiting dilution cloning 3-5 Weeks
  • Limiting dilution cloning of parental clones
IV: Expansion of clonal cell line 3-6 Weeks
  • Subclones with high specificity expanded
  • Shipment of hybridoma and up to 5ml of supernatant
  • Analysis by SDS-PAGE, WB, ELISA and SEC
V: Antibody scale-up 3-6 Weeks
  • Milligramme to Gramme quantities
  • Scale up performed using bioreactor system
  • Purification using Protein A/G affinity chromatography
