General Information
PickCell services hundreds of clients annually performing up to 500 fusions and immunizing over 1000 of rabbits annually. We perform the entire package of services related to custom research immunology projects and antibody/assay components development for University and corporate clients. 

Formerly known as a separate Custom-hybridoma program (and respective site), now it is reunited with the main site of PickCell.

To start a new polyclonal or monoclonal project please write to us.

We come back with new order because we were so happy with your Express rabbit antibody services, and we also recommend it to everybody now.
Prof. David R. Hyde, University of Notre Dame          

I was very happy with your service and I would like to use it again.

I would just like to give a feedback on the antibody. We tested it in Western-Blots from cellular extracts with excellent results. It picks up some non-specific bands, which however do not interfere with detection of endogenous ITPK. We are very happy with it! Hopefully, the second antibody will be similarly successful. Thanks a lot,
Christopher Stroh,

I have used your services twice before and would like to use it again to raise polyclonal antibody (Rabbit Express).
Prof. Puttur D. Prasad, Ph. D.

My name is Jorge Olivares Pacheco and I have an account with you. One year ago we sent samples to make antibodies and our results with your antibodies were really greatest, for this reason now I am sending samples for "Rabbit express protocol" again

Thank you so much for the titration data. It is very good. I already used the anti-serum to do my experiment and it worked very well. Thank you again for your excellent service.

In 2006 two peptides were designed by your company … for antibody production against … in C. elegans.  After affinity purification, I found C4402 antibody works very well in detecting the protein from C. elegans extract via Western blot…

Everything is looking good. For both rabbits 10382 and 10381 please continue to inject and bleed/purify (same as before) as often as you think is best for the rabbit. We will do testing as before. We are getting good results and want to continue as long as we can. (Phospho-project)
Dr. Diane Woods

Dear Maia, After several weeks spent to test the antibody you produced for us, I can tell that it is a great success. I just wanted to thank you and let you know that we are greatly satisfied with everything. Sincerely,
Stéphanie Heyraud, Ph D Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Canada 

Given the success of our previous antibody order (9 projects), we would like to order 19 new ones now, 9 with the express rabbit protocol, and 10 with the standard rabbit protocol.
Gáspár Jékely, Ph.D.
Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology, Tübingen, Germany

Dear Maia,
Last week I received the first two serum batches of the rabbit.
I tested it, and although I saw non-specific bands, we were happy to see a very clear target band.
I even was able to do an experiment which previously did not work with the antibodies developed with recombinant protein; now it works very well.
So, you can give the rabbit my thanks and some carrots.
Greetings,

Hi Maia, in the first project, the rabbit antibody works fine. I tested it out on COS cells (transfected with His-tagged cDNA) and on adult mouse tissue. In both cases I get a signal (in COS cells almost totally overlapping with the His-tag). But I think that I should increase the dilution, in order to lose some of the background. Also I need to make a few more control experiments to check the specificity but I didn't have time to do that yet. As soon as I know more I will let you know.
Jun Lee, Basel, Switzerland        

Thanks, happy new year to you also! I have already tested the specificity of these two antibodies, and they work well by western blot and IFA. I and my supervisor are very satisfied with service provided by your company.
