Mouse Monoclonal Antibody Preparation Service

Service Overview

Mouse monoclonal antibodies are uniform antibodies derived from a single B-cell clone through hybridoma technology, representing one of the most widely used antibody formats in life science research and in vitro diagnostics. This service serves academic laboratories, biotechnology companies, diagnostic developers, and pharmaceutical research teams requiring high specificity, long-term stable production, and batch-to-batch consistency of monoclonal antibodies.

We provide comprehensive services from antigen preparation, immunization, fusion, screening, subcloning stabilization, to antibody purification and quality control.

Supported Antigen Types

Immunization and Fusion Strategies

Antigen Type Recommended Immunization Strategy
Soluble high-purity protein Conventional adjuvant immunization, titer monitoring at 4–6 weeks
Hydrophobic/membrane protein Recombinant extracellular domain, LNP reconstitution, or cell-overexpression immunization
Short peptide (<15 aa) KLH/BSA conjugation immunization
Phospho-epitope Parallel immunization with phospho- and non-phospho peptides + subtractive screening
Conserved/low-immunogenicity protein Multiple mouse strains, CpG adjuvant, or knockout mouse immunization

From Antigen Design to Clone Discovery

The early stages of monoclonal antibody development focus on generating a strong immune response and identifying promising antibody-producing clones.

Once positive clones have been identified, the next step is screening and validation to determine which candidates meet the project's performance requirements.

Screening Strategy and Functional Validation

Screening protocols are customized based on final application requirements, not fixed templates.

Common Screening Methods

ELISA: Binding activity, cross-reactivity, pairing capability

Western blot: Specificity confirmation under denatured and reducing conditions

Flow cytometry: Native conformation recognition of cell surface antigens

IHC/IF: Localization capability in tissues or cells

Neutralization/blocking assays: Functional activity screening (receptor-ligand systems)

Screening Phase Description

Phase Description Duration
Primary screening Supernatant testing for antigen binding at 10–14 days post-fusion 3–5 days
Secondary screening Functional or cross-reactivity validation of positive wells 1–2 weeks
Stabilization screening Confirmation of antibody secretion stability after subcloning through serial passages 2–5 weeks

Subcloning and Stable Cell Line Establishment

Antibody Quality Characterization

Standard Quality Control Items

Parameter Method Acceptance Criteria (Example)
Purity SDS-PAGE (reducing/non-reducing) >90%
Concentration A280 or BCA Reported actual value
Endotoxin LAL method <1 EU/mg (can be reduced to <0.1)
Isotype Antibody isotyping kit IgG1/2a/2b/3, κ/λ
Functional validation ELISA/flow cytometry/WB, etc. Consistent with project goals

Additional characterization such as affinity (SPR/BLI), thermal stability (DSF), aggregation (SEC) can be added upon request.

Production and Quality Control

Following clone selection, antibodies undergo production, purification, and quality testing to ensure consistency and performance.

Comprehensive quality assessment helps ensure that the final antibody meets the specifications required for downstream research and assay development.

Technical Principles and Applications

Technical Characteristics of Mouse Monoclonal Antibodies

Batch reproducibility Suitable for diagnostic reagents and long-term longitudinal studies
Broad compatibility Validated with ELISA, WB, FC, IHC, IF, neutralization, blocking platforms
Mature hybridoma workflow Well-defined technical parameters and quality checkpoints for immunization, fusion, and screening

Typical Applications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How to choose between mouse monoclonal and rabbit monoclonal antibodies?

Mouse monoclonal antibodies offer more stable hybridoma and are more thoroughly validated in diagnostic applications. Rabbit monoclonal antibodies typically provide higher affinity for low-abundance antigens or certain phospho-epitopes. The two are not substitutes for each other.

Q: Can you guarantee that the final antibody will work in flow cytometry or IHC?

We use conditions aligned with final applications (e.g., cell-expressed antigens or tissue sections) whenever possible during screening. However, cross-target guarantees cannot be made. Screening protocols and acceptance criteria can be established at the initial project phase.

Q: Can hybridomas lose antibody production during long-term passage?

Stable subcloning combined with regular cryopreservation of master cell banks significantly reduces the risk of drift. We provide master cell bank cryopreservation services.

Q: Can I use only part of the service (e.g., immunization and fusion only)?

Yes. Service scope can be segmented according to project needs, with module-based pricing.
