Biocrest Science | Custom Recombinant Antibody Production Service

Custom Recombinant Antibody Production Service

Recombinant antibodies are generated through defined antibody gene sequences expressed in controlled host systems, offering improved reproducibility, sequence traceability, and batch consistency compared with conventional serum- or hybridoma-derived antibodies. Because recombinant production relies on known antibody sequences, researchers can more easily optimize antibody format, engineer functional domains, and reproduce expression across projects and production batches.

At Biocrest Science, we provide flexible recombinant antibody production services for research, assay development, and early-stage therapeutic workflows. Our platform integrates antibody sequencing, vector construction, recombinant expression, purification, and downstream engineering to support a wide range of antibody formats and applications. Services can be configured as full sequence-to-antibody workflows or modular production projects depending on customer requirements.

Recombinant Antibody Production Platforms

Different recombinant expression systems may be selected depending on antibody format, yield requirements, and downstream applications.

Expression SystemAntibody Formats ProducedBest ForKey Advantages
Prokaryotic Expression System VHH, scFv and fusion proteins, humanized single-chain antibodies, etc. Rapid production of antibody fragments Fast, low cost
Yeast Expression System VHH, scFv and fusion proteins, humanized single-chain antibodies, etc. Medium-to-high yield production of antibody fragments Balances cost and yield
Mammalian Expression System
(including HEK293 transient / CHO / stable cell lines)
VHH, scFv, various species IgG, Fab, humanized antibodies, chimeric antibodies, etc. Full-length antibodies, complex structures, therapeutic antibodies Proper folding and glycosylation, scalable

Expression platform selection is determined based on antibody format, structural complexity, and intended downstream use.

Application-specific validation is not automatically included for all projects. Validation workflows can be customized based on downstream assay requirements and project goals.

Overview of the Workflow

PhaseServiceDescriptionDeliverablesTimeline
Phase 1Full Gene Synthesis & Expression Vector ConstructionTarget antibody gene is synthesized and cloned into an expression vectorRecombinant expression plasmid~3–5 days
Phase 2TransformationThe constructed plasmid is introduced into host cellsTransformed host cells~2–3 days
Phase 3Small-Scale Expression & TestingTransfection into host cells, followed by preliminary expression and validation of the target antibodySmall-scale expression data~5–7 days
Phase 4Scale-Up Culture & PurificationLarge-scale culture and purification using affinity resin systemsPurified recombinant antibody~7–10 days

Typical total timeline: ~2–3 weeks
Timelines may vary depending on antibody format, expression system, purification requirements, and downstream validation scope.

Expression & Engineering Options

Additional engineering and optimization services are available following recombinant antibody production:

  • Antibody humanization
