Recombinant Antigens

Proteos is your trusted partner for recombinant protein production. The production of recombinant proteins, particularly antigens, involves several critical variables such as expression systems, purification techniques, protein tags, formulation, and assessment. In the coming months, we’ll delve deeper into these aspects of recombinant antigen production.

Antigens are substances, typically proteins, that provoke an immune response and stimulate antibody production. While protein antigens can be extracted from their natural sources for research, this approach poses challenges. Limited availability of extraction sources makes large-scale production difficult, and the purity and quality of these native antigens can vary significantly from batch to batch. This is where recombinant methods excel, providing a reliable and consistent alternative.

Recombinant antigen production ensures a continuous expression source and allows for efficient purification through affinity tags. This results in high purity and reproducibility, making recombinant antigens indispensable tools for drug discovery, including immunoassays and antibody development.

Stay tuned for our next blog post, where we’ll explore how to select the right expression platform for recombinant antigen production.
