Services & Technologies: DNA/Genetic immunization > Advantages at a glance
 

At a glance

 
1 You only need a DNA sequence - no protein needed at any time
  From gene to antibody without isolating the target protein allows validation of hypothetical proteins.
   
2 You need antibodies for target validation, diagnostics, and therapy - we deliver antibodies that recognize the native proteins
  In vivo antigen expression and screening on mammalian cells.
   
  GENOVAC antibodies are best suited for native proteins
   

 

   
  GENOVAC technology allows rapid generation of high quality antisera for target screening
   
 

Customer testing of polyclonal rat antisera by dilution ELISA (human RAS still detectable at 1:500,000 serum dilution)
   
 


GENOVAC testing of polyclonal rat anti-human RAS anitsera by flow cytomery (human RAS reveals 98% sequence identity with rat orthologue)

yellow: pre-immune serum on transfected cells
blue: immune serum on transfected cells

   
3 You have a whole set of genes - we can generate antibodies in parallel
  Parallel processing is time saving and leads to dramatic cost and price reductions per target.
   
4 You want antibodies against a GPCR - we are successful where others fail
  Broad experience with refined application of our technology allows the generation of antibodies against difficult proteins.

 

 

  GENOVAC technology allows antibody development against 7-membrane-spanning GPCR proteins
   

 


GENOVAC testing of anti-GPCR monoclonal antibody by flow cytometry

yellow: hybridoma supernatant binding to mock-transfected cells
blue: hybridoma supernatant binding to GPCR-transfected cells

   
 


Customer testing of anti-GPCR monoclonal antibody by immuno-fluorescence

HEK cells transfected with GPCR
blue staining - cell nuclei
green staining - GPCR fluorescence

   
 


Customer testing of modulation of function using GPCR transfectants

red: hybridoma supernatant
yellow: isotype control antibody

5 You wish to modulate a protein's function - we can focus against functional domains
  Starting with DNA allows optimal design.
   
6 You want to avoid risks - our quality control minimizes your costs
  Fee-for-service based on completion of milestones.
