This is a blog post about the various types of polyclonal antibodies: rabbit antibodies, sheep antibodies, and llama antibodies. Polyclonal antibody production requires selecting the right host animal. The specific decision is based on volume, price, and other properties. The right might species must be used for certain effects and attributes. There are some animals that are commonly used in this process: rabbits, sheep and llamas.
Rabbits: Rabbits are frequently used animals because
of their small size and long lifespan.
They are easy to house and even easier to monitor and track. Their immune system is robust (pAbs
production is in their blood – literally!).
Sheep: You have probably heard about sheep antibodies – that they’re complicated and
expensive. Incorrect! They are worth every penny because the
production yields a larger quantity.
High affinity and sensitivity are the results.
Llamas:
People are interested in llama
antibodies today. These single-chain
antibodies are composed of two heavy chains of CH1 domains. Their small size allows them to reach
antigens easily. The animals are pricey
to maintain but yield a great product in the end. In the end, an animal must be used for
antibody production for labs and experiments.
