Species and Protocol

SDIX offers a variety of species for antibody development.  Choosing which species to use could have an impact on if the antibody is successful.  Our scientists work with you to ensure all of the right questions and decisions are made for the best chance of success.

Rabbit 70 Day

STANDARD RABBIT, 70 DAY PROTOCOL

2 Rabbits 3 Rabbits 4 Rabbits

All rabbits are Specific Pathogen Free (SPF). Healthy animals make great antibodies.
Mean serum yields 50-75 mL of antiserum per rabbit.
Mean IgG concentration in immune rabbit sera is 4 mg/mL.
Mean specific antibody concentration is 0.15 to 0.5 mg/mL.
Antigen requirement: 1.6 - 2.0 mgs per 2-rabbit protocol

DAY ACTIVITY
0 Pre-immune sera collection
0 Injection
21 Injection
35 Injection
44-45 Sera collection
49 Injection
58-59 Sera collection
63 Sera collection
66 Ship sera

Goat / Sheep 200 Day

STANDARD GOAT/SHEEP 200 DAY PROTOCOL    

All animals are Blue Tongue Disease Free. Healthy animals make great antibodies.
No Blue Tongue means our plasma is easily exported to other countries.
Yield is 1,100 ml defibrinated plasma.
Antigen requirement: 2.4 to 5.0 mgs.

DAY ACTIVITY
0 Pre-immune sera collection
0 Injection
14 Injection
28 Injection

177 Plasmapheresis
179 Plasmapheresis
200 Extend or end project

If expected titer is not obtained at day 168, the project can be extended and plasmapheresis is not performed until expected titers are reached.
