Custom Rabbit Antibody Production

The New Zealand White rabbit is the most common choice for a host species in antibody production. This host species choice is ideal when working with peptide and protein antigens. Results can be seen in as little as 35 days when selecting our accelerated antibody package. The accelerated package is available for customers working with antigens known to produce high titer antibodies or when working with highly immunogenic antigens. We recommend using at least two animals per antigen due to variations of immune response between animals, improving the odds of project success.
