We are currently in the process of developing reactive antigens for our entire line of polyclonal antibodies,Lee said. We understand that researchers are constantly under time constraints and demands, so were trying to make it easier for them to get the materials they need in as few stops as possible.

To collect the Ferritin antibody , rabbits were immunized with purified human ferritin in Freunds adjuvant. The rabbits were bled and the serum was collected. The anti-Ferritin was immunoaffinity purified.
