Study Notes
Antibody Production in Animals
- To induce antibody production, mice are suitable for monoclonal antibodies
- For polyclonal antibodies, larger animals such as rabbits, goats, or sheep are preferred
- When choosing an animal, consider the following factors:
- Foreignness: The antigen should be foreign to the animal to ensure an immune response
- Convenience: Choose an animal that is easy to care for, purchase, and maintain, with minimal space requirements
- Genome: Even animals of the same species have slightly different genomes, so it's best to use the same strain of animal to minimize genetic variations
