The ability of antibody to bind to its target molecule with high selectivity and affinity has made it an extremely important tool for biomedical research. Ideally, an antibody should have a high affinity and specificity for its target and be produced quickly. By employing the regular monoclonal antibody production methodology, which usually produces high affinity antibodies, however it takes 6-7 months to generate a specific antibody. On the other hand, though the antibodies selected from in vitro libraries can be generated more rapidly but are typically of lower binding strength that makes them unsuitable to be used in applications which involves extensive washing/harsh treatments. To overcome both the limitations i.e. duration of production and quality, a new simple method has recently been developed known as Repetitive Immunizations at Multiple Sites (RIMMS) (Kilpatrick et al., 1997). This method though similar to the regular monoclonal antibody production which involves fusion of spleen cells and myeloma cells, but differs in somatic fusion of immune B cells which undergo germinal centre maturation in lymph nodes. The site of immunizations is typically located near the lymph nodes. ABGENEX is proud to announce introduction of its new Fast-Track Monoclonal Antibody Development service (Monoclonal AntibodyFT) which is based on RIMMS. We are the only company in India to provide this service and as a committed research based organization, we are taking utmost care in delivering high quality custom monoclonal antibody within an incredible timeline.
