Sino Biological has an optimized hybridoma technology for Monoclonal Antibody Production". Polyclonal antibody production in rabbits Polyclonal antibodies are produced by injecting a specific antigen into lab animals, such as rabbits and goats, etc. The animal is immunized repeatedly to obtain higher titers of antibodies specific for the antigen. Within a few weeks, these polyclonal antibodies can be harvested and collected from the antiserum. Pro...

\( \newcommand\) • • • The immune system protects organisms from infection first with the innate immune system, then with adaptive immunity. Key Points • When B cells and T cells are first activated by a pathogen, memory B-cells and T- cells develop. • Throughout the lifetime of an animal these memory cells will “remember” each specific pathogen encountered, and are able to mount a strong response if the pathogen is detected again. This type of immunity is both active and adaptive. • Active immunity often involves both the cell-mediated and humoral aspects of immunity as well as input from the innate immune system. Key Terms • secondary response: the immune response occurring on second and subsequent exposures to an antigen, with a stronger response to a lesser amount of antigen, and a shorter lag time compared to the primary immune response • primary response: the immune response occurring on the first exposure to an antigen, with specific antibodies appearing in the blood after a multiple day latent period • adaptive immunity: the components of the immune system that adapt themselves to each new disease encountered and are able to generate pathogen-specific immunity. The immune system is a system of biological structures and processes within an organism that protects against disease. To function properly, an immune system must detect a wide variety of agents, from viruses to parasitic worms, and distinguish them from the organism’s own healthy tissue. Pathogens can rapid...

Overview of the benefits and limitations of monoclonal, polyclonal, and recombinant monoclonal antibodies and how they are produced. Updated May 10, 2022 Polyclonal antibody production Polyclonal antibodies represent a heterogeneous mix of antibodies, with each antibody recognizing different epitopes of a particular antigen. Polyclonal antibody production typically starts with immunizing an animal with the target antigen to stimulate an immune response, involving the production of antigen-specific antibodies by the animal's B cells (Fig. 1). Immunizations of the same antigen are repeated at intervals of several weeks to increase the number and affinity of antigen-specific antibodies within the animal. The resulting immune-sera (a blood portion containing the antibodies) can be used in its crude form, or the antibodies can be isolated by affinity purification. Polyclonal antibodies consist of a mixture of antibodies representing the natural immune response to an antigen. So, they can produce a strong signal against the target antigen in their relevant application and are not biased against a single epitope. However, the disadvantages to their use are that they are limited in supply, and batch-to-batch variation is higher than with monoclonal antibodies. Polyclonal antibodies can also exhibit cross-reactivity and lack of specificity because of a higher risk of binding to other proteins with similar sequences. These issues are often addressed by cross-adsorbing (ie, further p...

However, it is possible to produce large amounts of a chosen, identifiable monoclonal antibody (see illustration). Occasionally a Because of hybridomas, researchers can obtain monoclonal antibodies that recognize individual antigenic sites on almost any Human monoclonal antibodies Although the preparation of monoclonal antibodies from rat or mouse cells has become routine practice, the construction of human hybridomas has not been as easy. This is partly because most human myeloma cells do not grow well in
