Production of polyclonal antisera.
Current protocols in cell biology / editorial board, Juan S. Bonifacino ... [et al.] 2001;
Chapter 16(
):.
Polyclonal antibody preparations contain multiple antibody molecules recognizing different epitopes on an antigen molecule. Good quality polyclonal antisera are useful for a number of applications-e.g., immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting, and ELISAs-where the binding of more than one antibody molecule per antigen molecule improves the sensitivity of the assay. It is possible to produce polyclonal antibodies in a variety of species, and this make it possible to detect multiple immunoreactions. The protocols in this unit describe the production of polyclonal antisera specific for protein antigens in rabbits, rats, mice, and hamsters using complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) or other adjuvants. In addition, the unit presents a method for preparing serum from blood. Polyclonal antipeptide antisera can be produced by substituting carrier-conjugated peptides for the purified protein antigens.
