Custom antibodies ? The new frontier in a post-antibiotic world

Posted by Elite Internet Technologies on September 21st, 2016

It’s a virtual no-brainer to say that the post-antibiotic environment will revolutionize medicine. The emergence of large numbers of resistant organisms has basically rewritten the script for modern medicine. The virtual panic this problem has caused as also had one very positive effect – It has supercharged the drive for new, more effective products.

Leading the charge is custom antibody development . As the name suggests, custom antibodies are used for specific purposes against particular diseases. This is the Next Very Big Thing in medicine, and it is no overstatement to say that every major medical research organisation is involved in some form in this research.

From humble beginnings with standard antibodies like rabbit antibodies , goat anti-llama antibodies, and chicken antibodies, custom antibodies of many different types have been developed.

Polyclonal antibodies are now hot property. Successful research is driving more research, but with a few caveats – The main issue is sourcing materials, and managing the delicate balance between research and high-grunt/ high grind work which can drain resources.

An interesting development has taken place. A company called Capralogics, one of the leading US suppliers of polyclonal antibodies, has created a game changer. The new approach is to act as both a supplier and a service provider for core services like lab services and antibody development.

This approach actually helps in multiple ways – Outsourcing the high grunt work allows researchers to do more research. Providing antibody development services also frees up researchers, and the company's highly experienced team of polyclonal product development experts assist with stage by stage research.

This is a synergistic process. The mix-and-match range of options for researchers provided by the company is very effective. It reduces costs, too, by managing the cost of outsourcing on a fixed cost basis.

If you’d like to see how the new post-antibiotic world is evolving new solutions to new problems, visit the company website here at www.capralogics.com.
