Description
Creative Diagnostics offers proprietary genetic immunization based polyclonal and
monoclonal antibody generation services. This unique antibody development approach involves direct immunization of host animals with plasmid DNA encoding the target protein of interest. The immunized hosts then produce the encoded protein and raise antibodies. Genetic immunization involves introducing the gene in the form of a cDNA directly into an animal which translates this cDNA into protein thus stimulating an immune response against the foreign protein. Protein purification is not necessary for this genetic immunization approach, which can save several months in time over recombinant protein generation followed by antibody production.
