FAQs
Custom Peptides and Antibodies
- How do I choose peptide endings appropriate to my studies?
- How long would it take to raise antipeptide antibodies?
- What purity is offered for custom synthesized peptides and how is this purity characterised?
-
What are MAPs and how can they be useful?
MAP stands for Multiple Antigen Peptide and is a Lysine branched peptide (2, 4 or 8 branches) which can be used to raise antibodies . The advantage of these peptides is that they can be designed to incorporate both B Cell and T Cell epitopes and do not require conjugation to an immunogenic protein carrier suchas KLH.
- Does Mimotopes supply GMP grade peptides?
- Is there any way of determining which region of a protein will be favourable for raising antibodies?
- I require a fluorescent label peptide, which fluorescent labels do you offer?
