Antibody Support Services

LAMPIRE presents a comprehensive suite of antibody support services, starting in 1977 and spanning several crucial phases of antibody development:

Antigen Design and Protocol Review: Prior to initiating any monoclonal or polyclonal development endeavor, LAMPIRE offers an opportunity for consultation on antigen design and immunization protocols. Our team employs advanced computer-aided technology to analyze pertinent peptide sequences related to your target antigen, predicting immunogenicity. This invaluable service is complimentary and assists in selecting the optimal immunization approach for your antigen. While we can't guarantee immune responses for every peptide sequence, this service has a track record of enhancing antibody development project success.

Antigen Conjugation Services: Certain antigens may benefit from coupling to larger molecules like KLH, LLH, OVA, BSA, or others. LAMPIRE provides coupling methodologies, including EDC and Glutaraldehyde, to enhance immunogenicity.

Species Specific Services: Each animal model presents unique challenges, and LAMPIRE offers specialized services tailored to each project. This includes buffy coats (PBMCs), Splenectomies, Splenocyte Isolations, Production Bleeds, Plasmapheresis, Egg Collections, and more. Feel free to consult your Project Manager about any species-specific services you require.

Antibody Characterization/QC Testing: LAMPIRE provides a suite of services to assess your antibody's purity, concentration, and specificity, including Immunoelectrophoresis, Western Blot, HPLC, SDS-Page, BCA Total Protein Assay, Bradford Total Protein Assay, and ELISA testing. These tests are instrumental in measuring and monitoring antibody concentration in culture supernatants, bleeds, or purified materials. Note that the project cost may vary based on the testing frequency and type, and additional antigen may be needed.

Antibody Purification: To complement your antibody project, LAMPIRE offers a diverse range of purification services. Our expert staff utilizes various methods, from salt fractionation to antigen-specific affinity chromatography. For guidance on the right purification method for your project, consult our technical experts and specify if a dedicated column is required.

Antibody Tagging Services: For versatility in applications, LAMPIRE offers antibody tagging services. Consultation with our scientific staff will assist you in selecting the ideal reporter group and coupling chemistry, including options like Biotin, Colloidal Gold, Fluorescein Isothiocyanate (FITC), and Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP).

Egg Yolk Processing: Chicken immunoglobulin production can see a decline in yield without proper storage. LAMPIRE provides an additional service of separating yolks and storing them in buffer. Treated yolks can then be shipped to clients for long-term storage at 2-8°C.

At LAMPIRE, your antibody project's success is our utmost priority, and our expert staff is ready to support you at every step.
