The conformational changes in a protein correspond to its vital function, such as an enzyme after binding to its substrate, a receptor after binding to its ligand, or an ion channel after binding to its blocker. Addressing the conformational change is, however, difficult owing to a lack of diagnostic tool.

BiCell Scientific Inc has developed a novel fixation and stabilization technique to lock the conformational state of a target protein. BiCell Scientific Inc is able to raise polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against the target protein in its specific conformation state. BiCell Scientific Inc has introduced depletion chromatography technique with affinity columns conjugated to the target protein in different conformational states, e.g. ligand unbound receptor, to remove unwanted bindings of antibody as an additional measure to ensure conformational specificity toward ligand bound receptor.

StepsTimeline (weeks)Deliverables/Internal testing milestoneQC standard
Phase I: Antigen preparation

(protein antigen, recombinantly produced by BiCell Scientific or provided by customer, will be fixed and stabilized by a proprietary buffer)

2 weeks/COA

 

 

 

 

Phase II: Animal immunization

(3 Sprague Dawley rats or 5 Swiss Webster mice or 2 New Zealand rabbits will be immunized with antigen; conventional protocol – three injections)

 

 

8-10 weeks100 ul antiserumELISA after 3rd injection
Phase III: Antiserum collection

(antiserum will be collected from one best responder animal according to ELISA report)

 

 

1-2 weeks1 ml to 50 ml antiserumELISA from production bleed
Phase IV: Affinity Chromatography and Depletion Chromatography

(antiserum will be depleted against affinity column conjugated with protein antigen fixed in an unwanted conformational state; antiserum will then be purified with affinity column conjugated with protein antigen fixed in a wanted conformational state)

 

1-2 weeks1 mg of purified polyclonal IgGIF/IHC and Western Blot

Phase III: Cell fusion and screening

(fusion of mouse myeloma cells with splenocytes from one best responder animal to generate hybridoma and perform antigen based hybridoma selection, enriching, and plating)

 

 

4-6 weeksSupernatant from 96 wellsELISA from supernatant
Phase IV: Expansion and antibody purification

(customer choosing one clone; expanding clone and purifying antibodies with affinity chromatography)

 

6-8 weeksOne hybridoma cell line (to customer); purified monoclonal antibody from the selected hybridoma cell line (1mg)

(BiCell Scientific will bank all remaining clones; customer can request additional clones by paying a service fee for hybridoma recovery)

"I am really impressed with your approach. We tried multiple times previously to create monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to claudin-2 and MLCK1. We have had limited success generating polyclonals and no success generating monoclonals. You have generated outstanding monoclonals to both. I look forward to continuing to work with you."

"The polyclonal antibody you generated for KIAA0408 is stunning! KIAA0408 is a novel cilium molecule that has never been studied. So, clearly there will be a lot of demand for it as we have discovered a very interesting finding and the story will be published in a high impact journal. I am strongly inclined to generate monoclonal antibody for this protein too and we should think about patenting it."

"Your ARL13B antibody works beautifully!!! We’re so happy to have a cilia-specific antibody made in rat! I can send you high resolution images to be posted on your website."

"The assay is a homophilic interaction mediated cell adhesion on purified protein (in this case, immobilized purified Pcdhga9 to Pcdhga9 expressed on cell surface). Compared to control, cell adhesion is reduced in the presence of Pcdhga9 monoclonal antibody supernatants!"

I have tested the rat polyclonal IgGs to ABCD1 by immunoflourescence on cells overexpressing ABCD1. The antibodies successfully detected the protein (either untagged or tagged with GFP) at a 1:500 dilution and there was little background. The antibodies did not detect ABCD2. So this is very good news, and you may now go ahead and clone out a monoclonal!
