Demonstration of Western Blot Specific Antibody Production

Left panel: Alpha-fold predicted structure of mouse ENaC alpha protein. The antigen epitope is from the N-terminus. The epitope is denatured, stabilized and immunized to generate antibody. Right panel: HEK293 cells were transfected with mouse ENaC alpha subunit, which has a V5 tag at the C-terminus. A negative control (untransfected HEK293 cell lysates) and a positive control (transfected HEK293 cell lysates immunoprecipitated by V5 antibody) were included. All lysates were blotted with anti-ENaC alpha Western blot specific antibody. The Western blot specific antibody recognizes a specific band in the HEK+ ENaC lysates, which is the same size as the V5 IP protein, indicating the correct size for ENaC alpha protein.

BiCell Scientific Inc has developed Western blot-specific recognition antibodies with novel denaturing and stabilizing technique to prevent the natural folding of epitope sequence in order to lock the conformational state of epitope in unfolded state.

Western Blot detects denatured and linearized proteins in SDS buffers. Conventional antibodies raised against epitopes assuming natural folding conformations are not suited for Western Blot. When used for Western Blot, conventional antibodies often report multiple bands of different molecular weights but only one band being specific binding.

BiCell Scientific Inc has developed a novel denaturing and stabilizing technique to prevent the natural folding of epitope sequence in order to lock the conformational state of epitope in unfolded state. BiCell Scientific Inc is able to raise polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies against the unfolded target epitope. Such antibodies can dramatically improve the binding specificity on Western Blot, which will be vital tools of quantitative measurements of protein expression in endogenous cell or tissue samples.

"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."

"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!"

"The rabbit hybridoma supernatants of anti-APOBEC3 project are tested positive by ELISA, and we are very happy about it! We previously tried a company, Abclone. Their Project "A" has immune response that is <10,000 titer in antiserum, which would explain why there is no positive mAb after fusion. Their project "B" didn't have any immune response in rabbit."

They worked very well! Thank you!"
