CHGR Monoclonal Antibody Production Facility

Summary

This Facility provides a monoclonal antibody production service to research projects. Protein/peptides provided by the individual investigators will be used to generate mouse monoclonal antibodies.

Services

  • Consultation to investigators in choosing appropriate peptides or expressing
    protein of interest as bacterial fusion protein.
  • Ordering mice, injecting peptides/fusion proteins, testing the mouse sera for positive response.
  • Hybridoma fusion will be carried out on one or more animals depending on response.
  • Screening will be performed by ELISA and western blot analyses.
  • Systematic isolation of positive clones using the Quixell Cell Transfer System, and
    validation of hybridoma clones.
  • Expansion of best clones (in consultation with the investigators) and production of
    concentrated supernatants
  • If necessary we will arrange for ascites production.

Location

The facility is located at 185 Cambridge Street, Simches Building, 5th floor
