Director: Gary Gilkeson, MD
The MUSC Monoclonal Antibody Production Facility provides monoclonal antibodies to proteins or peptide. Depending on the desire of the requester, the sera, cell line, cell culture supernatants, ascites, purified immunoglobulins or all of the above are provided. Monoclonal antibodies are derived from mice immunized with a particular immunogen or derived from autoimmune mice spontaneously producing antibodies to the antigen of interest. In specific instances of a polyclonal antibody that has been difficult to derive, the facility will aid in this process. Technical assistance in selecting the antigen for injection is also offered. We also started to provide service to generate phage display libraries for selection of antibodies. This facility is located in Room 422 of the Strom Thurmond Building.
