ANTIBODY PRODUCTION SERVICES
Antibodies to specific antigenic molecules are used in many research and diagnostic applications. VCR is able to produce high quality antisera and purified antibodies that are customized for your project. Commonly used host models include rabbits, goats and sheep but we can accommodate other species that you may require. Standard immunization schedules are available or we can help you to create a custom schedule to optimize antibody production based on your antigen and application. Call VCR to speak with a project manager who can advise in the design, cost and management of a project tailored to your specific requirements.
