Polyclonal Antibody Services

Looking for high-performance polyclonal antibodies designed around your target, not around a predefined package?

At CER Groupe, we don’t force customers into standard rabbit-only or peptide-only polyclonal packages. Instead, we start with your target and intended application, then help you select the most appropriate species, immunization strategy, and purification approach. Our teams co-create the development plan with you to ensure the antibody profile matches your diagnostic, biotechnology or research requirements.

With an ISO9001-certified infrastructure and one of Europe’s largest in-house animal facilities (12 species, including rabbits, goats, sheep, pigs, cows, chickens and rodents), we deliver polyclonal antibodies tailored for sensitivity, specificity and long-term reproducibility.

Why Choose CER Groupe?

A strategy built around your application

Our Polyclonal Antibody Capabilities

We design the polyclonal development plan together—starting with your target and application, and defining species, timeline, testing and purification based on real performance needs.

Species options

  • Rabbit (fast and standard protocols)
  • Goat, sheep (high yields)
  • Pig, cow (large serum volumes)
  • Chicken (IgY advantages)
  • Rodents (small-scale exploratory work)

Immunization strategies

  • Hapten, peptide and protein antigen immunization
  • DNA immunization (available as an optional strategy, not primary)
  • Booster optimization based on immunogenicity monitoring
  • Tailored schedules (fast, standard, long-term)

Purification & formats

  • Protein A/G
  • Antigen-affinity / immunoaffinity purification for highest specificity
  • Serum, IgG, Fab/F(ab’)₂
  • Freeze-dried or liquid formats

Optional services

  • Rabbit mAb development
  • Antigen conjugation
  • Immunopurification
  • Analytical characterization (avidity, cross-reactivity testing, etc)
  • Serum-free adaptation
  • Pre-validation for diagnostic applications
  • Long-term cryostorage

Application validation

Workflow: From Target to Purified Antibodies

1. Project Scoping

You share your target and application → we build a fully custom workflow.

2. Antigen Preparation

Peptide design support, hapten conjugation, antigen QC.

3. Immunization

Fast-track or standard protocols in multiple species.

4. Monitoring & Sampling

Titer evaluation, optional QC testing.

5. Purification

Protein A/G or antigen-affinity based on specificity needs.

6. Delivery

Purified antibodies + CoA + project report + optional long-term storage.
