The Scottish Biologics Facility offers biologic drug discovery services to academic institutions across Scotland. The facility's longer term goal is to extend its services to academic groups worldwide and provide routine access to technology platforms designed to facilitate the selection of highly specific and sensitive antibodies for diagnostic, imaging and therapeutic purposes.
Facility services include,
Generation of monoclonal antibody/peptide hits to targets of interest
Bespoke antibody library construction from immunised sources
In addition, we have initiated a training package where the protocols for antibody library selection and screening are now available for SULSA researchers who wish to undergo training in antibody isolation through a phage display platform and further characterisation using biochemical and biological assays.
