GOAT ANTIBODY PRODUCTION
Goats are ideal for projects that require large quantities of serum.
Our packages include one Boer goat on our standard 8-week production schedule which yields approximately 750-900mL serum. At the conclusion of the initial protocol you have the option of terminating the project or extending on a monthly basis to obtain an additional ~500-600mL serum per goat per month.
Example of a goat custom antibody schedule:
| Week | Procedure | Detailed Procedure | Serum Volume |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Pre-bleed | Pre-immune serum collection | ~ 25 ml |
| 0 | Immunize | 500μg-1mg in Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) | |
| 2 | Immunize | 250-500μg in Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant (IFA) | |
| 4 | Immunize | 250-500μg in Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant (IFA) | |
| 5 | Bleed | 1st production bleed | 200-300 ml |
