Goat Antibody Production

Polyclonal antibody production in our goats is a popular service for its high quality antiserum and our unique ethical production. We provide R&D laboratories and production units worldwide with custom antiserum or purified antibodies. We have a standard immunization program which can be adjusted to your specific needs of antibody generation. The entire chain of actions are carried out at our purpose built organic farm and onsite laboratory facilities.

  • Our standard nine-week introductory program includes all steps necessary to generate high-titer antiserum with top performing antibodies. Each production lot results in up to 125 ml high quality antiserum.

    The immunization programs can be customized and extended to your needs.

    Antiserum can be affinity purified and target-validated in our laboratory, before the pure antibody is securely shipped to your facility.

    • When you need a larger production of antibodies, for example for diagnostics, pre-clinical trials (e.g. ADA-assays) or core research

    • When the antigen, to which the antibody you are planning on producing, is central to your research or long-term project. You will receive a good amount of material from the same animal/-s. This way you will limit your batch-to-batch variation and the same material can be used for decades to come.

    • When most of your other antibodies are made in rabbit. This allows double stainings and other applications where antibodies of different species are required

    • When you are designing a diagnostic assay containing antibodies made in two different species (e.g. Goat being "catcher" and Mouse or Rabbit being "detector").

    • When the antigen is somewhat conserved. Evolutionary, goat is further away in comparison to rabbit and man. For very conserved proteins, we recommend generation of antibodies in hen.

What makes us different

  • Capra Science Organic Farm is located in southern Sweden.

    We are proud to say that Swedish authorities have some of the strictest regulations worldwide for animal keeping, ethics and the environment.

    In addition we have chosen to be ISO 9001 as well as organically certified. Our farm is certified organic since many years back and has been awarded multiple times for outstanding animal care.

  • Our top priority is to promote healthy animals with strong immune systems.

    A strong immune system will give substantially higher levels of antigen-specific antibodies in serum upon an antigen challenge. 

  • We have developed unique and gentle immunization programs. The programs are adapted to each host and optimized for a generous production of antigen-specific antibodies.

  • The entire chain of events in antibody production and downstream processes take place onsite. We have a purpose-built organic farm as well as laboratories. We don't work with subcontractors. This guarantees a high level of quality assurance and IP security.
