Background 

Anti-glycan Polyclonal Antibody Development

Antibody refers to the protective protein produced by the body due to the stimulation of antigen. It has a binding specificity with a specific antigen. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are produced by B cells and only recognize the same epitope of the antigen, giving mAbs high-affinity characteristics. Polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) are heterogeneous mixtures, usually produced by different B cell clones in the body, and they can recognize and bind to many different epitopes of a single antigen.

Glycans (or carbohydrates) are the main surface components of cells (such as red blood cells, immune cells and microorganisms) and participate in a variety of life activities. At present, more anti-glycan antibodies are used in scientific research and clinical trials. Compared with mAbs, anti-glycan pAbs can significantly shorten the production cycle and reduce production costs. It has comprehensive effects, and important functions such as neutralizing antigens, immune regulation, complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), high stability, and can tolerate pH changes and small changes in glycan antigens (such as glycosylation heterogeneity). However, anti-glycan polyclonal antibodies are prone to cross-reactions, and differences between batches are likely to occur during the production process.

Solutions

At CD BioGlyco, we pay attention to every detail in antibody development and strive for perfection in every process, evidenced by our many years of successful experience. We provide numerous species for the production of anti-glycan polyclonal antibodies, including rabbits, goats, sheep, chickens, mice, rats and hamsters, etc. Goats/sheep are the preferred host for mass production of polyclonal antibodies because they can produce a strong immune response to most antigens, and the amount of serum produced by goats can reach 7-8 times that of rabbits. The most cost-effective hosts are chickens and rabbits, which can provide high-titer, high-affinity serum in a short time.

CD BioGlyco integrates chemistry and biology perspectives into antibody development. At the same time, first-class project management and purification strategies can ensure the high success rate of polyclonal antibody production, and considerable amounts of polyclonal antiserum can be obtained in a short period (4-6 weeks) with minimal investment.
