Antibody Expression of scFv and VHHs
Antibody Production Across the United States
We can prepare antibody expression for VHH and scFv antibodies in E. coli and mammalian cells. The antibodies will have both an N-terminal FLAG and a C-terminal HIS tag. The yield will average 100-200 ug for small-scale production (usually higher for VHH) that can be scaled up for increased yields. The antibodies are purified via the HIS tag by Ni-NTA chromatography or the FLAGG tag and generally are about 90%+ pure. We can also incorporate alternative tags.
Both scFvs and VHHs can be engineered into a traditional antibody format (see Antibody Engineering for more information) by fusing onto an Fc backbone. Antibody generation produces these antibodies at a small scale in mammalian expression systems with yields of 200-400 ug. They are also purified via protein A.
We can readily scale up expression or increase the yield of antibodies if desired.
