- The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), intends to negotiate on a non competitive basis with Biosource International Inc., 542 Flynn Road., Camarillo, California 93012, to purchase customized antibody production sequence as needed by the NHLBI researchers for existing protocol projects. The protocols service includes: Synthesis of a peptide up to 18 amino acids in length, purification of the peptide to -90%, mass Spec verification of peptide sequence, 4-6mg of free peptide shipped with the antibody, conjugation of the peptide for immunization, polyclonal antibody production for rabbits (pre bleeds, 6 immunizations and 4 production bleeds to yield 180-200ml of serum), ELISA on bleeds 2 & 3 preparation of a peptide affinity column, characterization and evaluation period (animal boosted and housed while testing), affinity purification of ~50ml of serum to produce 4-6mg of purified antibody. Changing variables at this point should effect the ongoing projects. Biosource International Inc. in conjunction with the NHLBI, will continue to custom design and manufacture these antibodies.
