Antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to invading pathogens. The invading bacteria, virus, or other foreign molecules are collectively called as antigens. Antibodies are proteins, or polypeptides which have specific antigen recognition sites. Antibodies are formed by B-cells of the immune system. When an antibody is needed against a specific antigen, but it isn’t available from a supplier, it is possible to have antibodies made via custom antibody production. These antibodies are of two types depending on how they are generated and harvested: polyclonal or monoclonal. Polyclonal antibodies are capable of recognizing multiple sites on an antigen. They are derived from different B cell lineages. Monoclonal antibodies recognize only one epitope or site on an antigen, and are derived from a single B-cell line. There are six steps to polyclonal antibody production:
1. Peptide design
2. Peptide synthesis
3. Animal immunization
4. Serum collection
5. Titer analysis
6. Final antibody purification
Thus, key market player provide services in all or some of these above mentioned steps.
