ProSci’s Flow Cytometry Service

ProSci’s Flow Cytometry Service provides screening for flow positive antibodies during monoclonal antibody development for hybridoma development, rabbit monoclonal antibodies and single domain antibodies. Each screen involves one 96 well plate per cell line for up to 2 cell lines including controls.

Flow Screening for Hybridoma Development

Flow cytometry screening is an add-on service to hybridoma development which includes screening by ELISA. The starting price for mouse monoclonal antibody development is 6,950 initially and then selecting the clones to screen by flow. In addition to our standard pricing, screening for each phase can be ordered separately.

Hybridoma Development Milestones: Moving to Next Phase

To ensure development of flow positive clones for the packages above, a visible shift and/or "tail" in flow histogram must be seen before moving to the next phase of hybridoma development.

Deliverables

• ELISA reports
• Flow histogram reports
• Upto 2 cell lines screened additional hybridoma cell lines are available however they will incur additional costs of $700 per each additional hybridoma
• Note: While ProSci will use its extensive experience to develop antibodies that work in flow cytometry, there are no guarantees that such antibodies will be developed.

Materials Required

The quantities listed for the following materials are for each screening(up to one 96 well plate):

• Screening Material:
• 2 vials of cells over expressing the protein of interest
• 1 x 10⁷ cells with >90% viability
• Cyropreserved
• Positive Control:
• Fluorescently labeled positive control antibody
•  If primary antibody is unlabeled additional fluorescently labeled secondary antibody
• Fluorescently labeled ligands that bind to the desired receptor target.
• The following forms of labeled antibodies or ligands are prefered:
• PE
• Alexa Fluor 488
• FITC
• Negative Control (optional but preferred):
• 2 vials of cells that do not express the protein of interest
• 1 x 10⁷ cells with >90% viability
• Cyropreserved
• Quality Control of  Over Expressing Cells by:
• Western blot
• Flow
• Functional assays

*Quality control of cells service with customer provided positive control antibody is available for additional cost.
