The price of our recombinant monoclonal antibodies starts at a few hundred euros, making this an accessible option for many research and development projects. The primary factors influencing the cost are the number and amount of antibodies required. Generally, larger quantities or batches of antibodies will have a higher total cost, but the price per antibody may be reduced when ordering in larger volumes. This scaling effect can offer cost advantages for those seeking significant quantities of recombinant antibodies.
Additionally, the range of services selected by the customer can influence the overall cost. Besides the basic production of recombinant antibodies, customers may opt for additional services such as antibody analytics, purification, and stable production of the antibody in cell lines. Each of these supplementary services may contribute to the overall cost of the project.
It’s essential to keep in mind that while cost is a significant consideration, the quality, specificity, and functionality of the recombinant antibodies are equally crucial factors to evaluate when selecting a service provider. Investing in high-quality recombinant antibodies can lead to more reliable and reproducible results in research, diagnostics, and therapeutic applications.
The timeline for ProteoGenix’s recombinant antibody production service varies based on the intricacies of each project. Each project involves several essential steps, each contributing to the overall duration of the service. Here’s a general overview of the key stages and the approximate time frame:
1. Antibody Gene Isolation: This step entails hybridoma sequencing and de novo antibody protein sequencing to identify the target antibody gene. Depending on the complexity of the antibody, this stage can take around 1-2 weeks.
2. Gene Synthesis and Cloning: Once the antibody gene is identified, it needs to be synthesized and cloned into expression vectors. This process usually takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the gene length and any technical challenges.
3. Transfection and Expression: The recombinant antibody expression vectors are transfected into suitable host cells for antibody production. Small-scale expression is performed to verify antibody expression and functionality. This step can require 1-2 weeks.
4. Quality Control: After expression, the recombinant antibodies undergo rigorous quality control tests to ensure they meet the desired specifications. This can take around 1 week, depending on the number of antibodies and the extent of testing required.
Taking these stages into account, customers can typically expect to receive their recombinant antibody within 3-4 weeks from gene sequencing to final antibody production. However, the timeline may vary based on the complexity of the project, the number of antibodies, and any customizations or additional services you require.
With our recombinant antibody service at ProteoGenix, we offer the production of a diverse range of monoclonal antibody formats that cater to various research and application needs. This includes modifying your antibody into one of the following antibody formats:
scFv (Single-chain variable fragment): scFv antibodies are engineered to combine the variable regions of the antibody’s heavy and light chains into a single polypeptide chain. These compact molecules retain antigen-binding specificity and are often used in research and diagnostic applications.
Fab (Fragment antigen-binding): Fab antibodies consist of the variable regions of the heavy and light chains, allowing them to retain antigen-binding capability. They also lack the Fc region, making them useful for certain applications where Fc-mediated effector functions are not required.
VHH (Nanobodies): VHH are single-domain antibodies derived from heavy-chain-only antibodies found in camelids. They are small and highly stable, making them valuable tools for research, diagnostics, and therapeutics.
Full-length Antibodies (IgG): Full-length antibodies, also known as IgG, are the conventional format used in many therapeutic applications. They possess intact Fc regions that facilitate effector functions such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).
Antibody Fusion-Proteins: ProteoGenix also offers the production of antibody fusion proteins. These include antibodies fused with other functional proteins or tags, allowing for specific applications, such as affinity purification or targeted drug delivery.
Our commitment to offering a diverse selection of antibody formats ensures that you find the most suitable option to address your specific scientific and medical requirements.
The choice of format depends on your intended application. Our team of experts is always available to provide guidance and assistance in selecting the optimal recombinant monoclonal antibody format for each unique project.
Recombinant antibodies are synthetic antibodies produced using recombinant antibody technology. Unlike traditional antibodies derived from immune responses in animals, recombinant antibodies are designed and engineered in the laboratory. This process involves isolating the genes that encode the antibody’s variable regions and then expressing these genes in host cells to generate the desired antibody.
Production Process: The recombinant antibody production process typically involves several key steps. First, the genes encoding the antibody’s variable regions are isolated, either from hybridoma cells (for known antibodies) or through de novo sequencing. Next, these genes are synthesized or cloned into expression vectors. These expression vectors are then transfected into suitable host cells, such as mammalian cells or bacteria, to produce recombinant antibodies.
Characteristics: Recombinant antibodies offer several advantages over traditional antibodies. Since they are engineered, their binding affinity and specificity can be optimized for specific targets. This allows for the creation of high-affinity antibodies with reduced cross-reactivity. Recombinant monoclonal antibodies can also be designed to lack the Fc region, eliminating potential Fc-mediated effector functions, and making them suitable for certain therapeutic and research applications.
Consistency: Recombinant antibody production ensures a high degree of consistency and reproducibility. The genetic engineering process allows for precise control over the antibody’s sequence, leading to a more uniform product with predictable characteristics. This consistency is crucial, especially in therapeutic applications where precise dosing and efficacy are essential.
Scalability: Another significant advantage of recombinant antibodies is their scalability. Once the gene sequences are available and the production process is established, it becomes relatively straightforward to scale up production to generate large quantities of the antibody. This scalability is vital in meeting the demand for research, diagnostics, and therapeutic applications.
Recombinant antibody production has become an essential tool in research, diagnostic, and therapeutic applications. Their ability to be precisely engineered for specific targets, consistent quality, antibody format, and scalability makes them valuable assets in addressing a wide range of scientific and medical challenges. As technology and techniques in genetic engineering continue to advance, the potential applications and impact of recombinant antibodies are expected to grow significantly in the future.

Here, we showcase the recombinant monoclonal antibody production of Pembrolizumab using our proprietary Xten expression system.
The genes coding for the Heavy chain (HC) and the light chain (LC) of the therapeutic antibody Pembrolizumab were chemically synthesized with optimizations for expression in CHO cells. The genes were cloned in ProteoGenix’s proprietary mammalian cells expression vector pTXs1. The vector map is provided in the PDF report.
An endotoxin-free DNA preparation was done for the pTXs1 expression constructions. By using the proprietary Xten transfection protocol, the plasmids were then transiently transfected in the proprietary XtenCHOTM cells.
Culture medium was collected and production yield was determined by Octet Red analysis. The recombinant antibody was then purified by affinity vs. protein G.

Recombinant antibody production has been a major breakthrough in the therapeutic antibody development context as it leads to several advantages over “traditional” antibody production in hybridoma cell lines.
1. Optimal reproducibility, control and security
Monoclonal antibody production for therapeutic applications requires high control and reproducibility. Because crucial parameters such as DNA and protein sequence are chemically defined, recombinant antibody production allows creating a standardized process for monoclonal antibody production with very low batch-to-batch variations. As recombinant antibody production starts from a known antibody or DNA sequence, mutations or cell-line drift that can occur in hybridoma cell lines are also obviated.
2. High purity
Recombinant antibody production leads to high purity grade due to the absence of serum contaminants.
3. Ease of engineering and reformatting
Recombinant monoclonal antibody production allows getting access to the control of the antibody structure at the genetic level. This is particularly important when it comes to therapeutic antibody development as it permits modulatingmodulating the pharmacological properties of the recombinant antibody.
The possibility to modify the gene that will further be expressed by a selected expression system also gives access to an infinite range of solutions in terms of:
4. No animal use
ProteoGenix is dedicated to the highest standards of medical ethics and animal welfare. Thanks to recombinant antibody production technology, the antibodies can be quickly produced without relying on animal use in any step of the process.
In this section, we will highlight the difference between transient and stable antibody expression.
Recombinant antibody production offers a main advantage: it allows rapid production of a relatively large number of antibodies. However, in transient transfection, the transfected gene does not integrate the host genome and can be lost in several days (over a short time period, of several days). Thus, it can be the perfect solution for short-term applications such as small-scale protein expression.
3 months), stable cell lines are privileged for long-term applications such as therapeutic antibody production. For large-scale bioproduction, a stable cell line allows to construct of a standardized process that guarantees higher yield and quality control.

Transient antibody expression in mammalian systems is useful for many applications. These systems combine proper protein folding and post-translational modification with short lead times making them invaluable for:
Mammalian expression systems based on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) or Human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells are the industry’s most robust solutions for recombinant antibody expression.
Their ability to perform human-like glycosylation (crucial to reduce immunogenicity of antibodies), proper protein folding and their efficient secretory pathways, makes the process ideal for therapeutic applications. Cell used for antibody production must be able to maintain a high productivity and batch-to-batch consistency. All these criteria are met by our proprietary cell line XtenCHO™.
Our vast expertise in producing antibodies in CHO and HEK systems is also complemented by our 28+ years of experience in protein production in a number of systems including bacterial, yeast, and insect cells.
The use of these systems for recombinant antibody expression continues to grow in popularity due to the growing demand for solutions with lower costs and shorter lead times. Although XtenCHO™ remains our gold standard for antibody production, we are also able to produce full-length or antibody fragments in all these alternative systems.
What are the advantages and limitations of these alternatives in comparison to mammalian production systems?
