POLYCLONAL ANTIBODY DEVELOPMENT Abcore is committed to excellence, and to responding to the changing needs of our customers. We have developed polyclonal antibodies for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, and universities throughout the United States and internationally. The protocols and methods used to produce polyclonal antibodies are specifically suited to small scale and large scale requirements. The highest quality is achieved through careful and diligent attention to the health of our animals. Healthy animals make better antibodies. When you develop a custom antibody protocol with Abcore we guarantee to provide quality immunological services. We use New Zealand White females rabbits, bred on our farm, and adult laying leghorn chickens, Boer goats, and sheep. All of our animals are cared for by qualified personnel to ensure that you are receiving the highest quality service. All antibody work is done by Abcore personal we do not subcontract. Our facilities are USDA registered #93-R-0541 and maintained by our IACUC committee to insure all regulations are being followed. We keep our customers in touch of their project progress every step of the way by updates of project progress and are available to answer questions at any time. Attached you will find 1) Standard Protocols for Rabbits, Chickens, Goats, and Sheep 2) Antigen requirements 3) Project outline If you need additional information, a custom price quote for multiple animals, or are ready to order services, please contact an Abcore. We look forward to working with you. Sincerely, Abcore Staff 405 Maple St., Suite A106, Ramona, CA 92065 888-359-1364-T 888-884-9241-F P a g e 1
