How to design peptides suitable for antibody production.

There are a lot of factors to consider when designing peptides suitable for antibody production. Finding out which regions or domains of the protein to target in the first place is a good starting point. Then there are considerations such as predicted peptide solubility, antigenicity, surface exposure, conjugation strategy, and homologies. Which parameters to include and their importance may depend on the project details. In our design service we use our proprietary Peptide CAD™ software, although the selection is done by our experienced staff. If you prefer to do the design yourself, we also offer a free on-line tool for analysing your peptide sequence.

Peptide design service

If you would prefer to have Innovagen design your sequence, we are happy to do so. From a protein sequence that you supply us with, we will come up with up to three suggestions for peptide sequences suitable for antibody production. You can also specify up to three sequences of your own, which we will then comment on. You can also specify regions that either are of interest and should be targeted or which should be avoided. This service is free of charge when placing an order for a custom polyclonal antibody project. For your convenience we have an on-line order form, but please use any other method of contacting us that you find more suitable.
