At Grace Lifetech, we specialize in Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (mAb) Production Services, providing researchers and biotechnology companies with high-affinity, high-specificity antibodies that deliver superior performance across a wide range of applications. Rabbit monoclonal antibodies offer distinct advantages over traditional mouse monoclonal antibodies, including enhanced sensitivity and better recognition of diverse epitopes, making them ideal for use in diagnostics, research, and therapeutic development.

Why Choose Rabbit Monoclonal Antibodies?

1. Higher Affinity and Sensitivity
   Rabbit monoclonal antibodies exhibit significantly higher affinity and sensitivity compared to mouse monoclonal antibodies. This makes them highly effective for detecting low-abundance proteins, subtle post-translational modifications, and small molecular targets. With their superior binding characteristics, rabbit mAbs provide more reliable results in challenging assays.

2. Broader Epitope Recognition
   Rabbits have a more diverse immune system compared to mice, which allows them to recognize a wider range of epitopes, including those that are difficult for mouse antibodies to detect. This enhanced epitope recognition makes rabbit mAbs ideal for generating antibodies against highly conserved or small antigens such as peptides, small molecules, and post-translational modifications.

3. Improved Specificity
   Rabbit monoclonal antibodies often exhibit superior specificity, reducing cross-reactivity and background noise in applications such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry (IHC), and flow cytometry. This results in clearer, more accurate data, especially in complex biological samples.

4. Ideal for Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
   Rabbit mAbs are particularly well-suited for IHC due to their high sensitivity and affinity, enabling the detection of low-expressing antigens in tissue sections. They also deliver superior staining quality, with stronger and more specific signals, which is critical for accurate tissue analysis in diagnostics and research.

5. Long-Term Stability and Reproducibility
   Rabbit monoclonal antibodies are produced using hybridoma technology, ensuring long-term stability and consistent production. Once developed, these antibodies can be produced in large quantities with high reproducibility, making them a reliable resource for long-term research and industrial applications.

Our Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody Production Process:

1. Antigen Design and Preparation
   Our process starts with a comprehensive consultation to understand your project requirements and antigen design. Whether you provide the antigen or we design it in-house, we ensure that it is optimized for generating a strong immune response in rabbits. We work with a variety of antigen types, including proteins, peptides, small molecules, and post-translational modifications.

2. Immunization and Immune Response Monitoring
   We immunize rabbits using a proven immunization strategy to ensure a robust immune response. Throughout the immunization process, we monitor the rabbit’s immune response by testing sera to evaluate antibody titers and affinity for the antigen.

3. Rabbit Hybridoma Fusion
   Once a strong immune response is achieved, we isolate the antibody-producing B cells and fuse them with myeloma cells to generate hybridoma cell lines. These hybridomas are capable of producing monoclonal antibodies indefinitely, ensuring a stable source of high-affinity antibodies.

4. Clone Screening and Selection
   After hybridoma generation, we screen for clones that produce antibodies with the desired specificity and affinity using high-throughput assays, such as ELISA, Western blot, and flow cytometry. We carefully select and expand the top-performing clones based on their binding properties and functional activity.

5. Subcloning and Monoclonality Verification
   We perform subcloning to ensure the monoclonality of the selected hybridoma cell lines. This process eliminates any mixed populations and guarantees the generation of pure, monoclonal antibodies. We also verify the antibody isotype and optimize production conditions to maximize yield and stability.

6. Antibody Production and Purification
   Once the best-performing hybridoma clones are identified, we scale up production to generate the required quantities of monoclonal antibodies. We use advanced purification techniques, including protein A/G affinity chromatography, to produce highly pure and functional antibodies for your downstream applications.

7. Quality Control and Characterization
   Each batch of rabbit monoclonal antibodies undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure purity, specificity, and functionality. We provide detailed characterization reports, including SDS-PAGE, Western blot, and functional assays, to confirm that the antibodies meet your project’s specifications.

Applications of Rabbit Monoclonal Antibodies:

• Diagnostic Assays
  Rabbit monoclonal antibodies are ideal for use in diagnostic assays, such as ELISA, IHC, and immunoassays, due to their high sensitivity and low background noise. They are often used for detecting biomarkers in clinical samples with high accuracy and reliability.

• Research and Drug Discovery
  Rabbit mAbs offer superior sensitivity and specificity for research applications, including Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and flow cytometry. They are also valuable tools in drug discovery pipelines for target validation, functional assays, and therapeutic development.

• Therapeutic Antibodies
  Rabbit monoclonal antibodies can be humanized for therapeutic development, offering potential advantages in terms of affinity and efficacy for treating diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases.

• Post-Translational Modification Detection
  Rabbit monoclonal antibodies are highly effective for detecting post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation, methylation, and glycosylation. Their high affinity allows for sensitive and specific detection of these modifications in both research and clinical settings.

Advanced Rabbit mAb Services:

• Antibody Humanization
  For therapeutic and clinical applications, we offer antibody humanization services, converting rabbit monoclonal antibodies into human or humanized versions to minimize immunogenicity in patients while retaining high binding affinity.

• Isotype Switching
  We provide isotype switching services to modify the isotype of rabbit monoclonal antibodies (e.g., switching from IgM to IgG) to suit different applications, such as functional assays or therapeutic development.

• Antibody Labeling
  To support applications such as flow cytometry, imaging, and detection assays, we offer custom antibody labeling services, including fluorescent, biotin, or enzyme conjugation.

• Cryopreservation
  To ensure the long-term availability of your rabbit monoclonal antibody-producing hybridoma cell lines, we offer cryopreservation services, allowing you to securely store your cell lines for future use.
