2D Western Blots

Different from the classical 1D Western Blot the 2D  Western Blot analysis separates proteins not only by molecular size but also by their electric charge (isoelectric point).

The proteins are transferred to a membrane and the protein of interest (Target) is then detected by a specific antibody. However, due to the two-dimensional separation of the proteins, target isoforms and/or modifications (Red/Ox, Phosphorylation/ Glycosylation) can be detected. Since many proteins are regulated by post-translational modification rather than by protein up- and down regulation (much faster and cheaper), 2D Western Blots are a very powerful tool.

Host Cell Protein Analysis

In biotherapeutic drug manufacturing host organism are commonly used for the production of recombinant proteins. However, during the overexpression of recombinant proteins, endogenous Host Cell Proteins (HCPs) are expressed as well (Host Cell Proteom). These HCPs are impurities and have to be eliminated in the production process.

The two-dimensional 2D Western Blot HCP Analysis is capable of monitoring

a) performance of the anti-HCP antibody to reliably detected host cell proteins by comparison of total HCPs and HCPs detected by the antibody,

b) the abundance of HCPs in the production of recombinant protein.

For the safe detection of the total protein on the membrane we use the fluorescent labeling with T-Rex.

.

Large Scale Quantitative WB

Western Blot analysis is usually based on the separation of proteins by their molecular weight (SDS-PAGE) and less often by electric charge (IEF Gels). After transfer of the size separated protein the protein of interest (Target) is detected by a specific antibody. In order to quantify and to compare the amount of target between different samples, the amount of corresponding total protein has to be co-detected.

For precise and reliable quantification of Western Blot Targets we use the patented Smart Protein Layers Technology.
For the analysis of up to 50 samples per blot we use our VELUM 1D Gels.

.

ElISA

The enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) is an fast and easy-to-handle immunological method. Proteins of interest are detected and quantified by specific antibodies in the microtitre plate format. Different from Western Blot analysis, proteins are not separated prior detection. The Proteins are detected colorimetrically or fluorescence based.

In addition, the ELISA can be performed as a Sandwich or as a competitive assay.

We assist you in finding and development the a best suiting kind of available ELISA and develop the corresponding protocols.
