Camelid Antibody Development

For the past few years, Allele has been in the forefront of Camelid antibody technologyoffering popular products such as the GFP-Trap (cited in 259 publications). By making this custom Camelid Antibody service available, researchers can now feel confident in passing along tedious antibody projects to Allele and eventually creating a novel, high quality molecule capture reagent.

Protein Expression

Over a decade ago, our technical staff offered the first commercial Baculovirus protein expression services to address researchers´ unmet gene expression needs. Today we are on the cutting edge of a variety of expression and antibody production technologies so that you can accelerate your research by taking advantage of our comprehensive range of services.

In terms of protein expression, bacteria and yeast are commonly used to express a variety of proteins because they are more convenient and less costly than other systems. However, they may not be suitable for producing mammalian proteins with important post-translation modifications (PTM). Insect cells can be used effectively for producing large quantities of mammalian proteins rather easily through baculovirus such as Allele´s Sapphire system. PTM in insect cells is not exactly the same as in mammalian cells, e.g. different glycosylation patterns. Mammalian cells are used for proteins that require appropriate PTM or are not soluble in other systems through either transient transfection or stable cell line establishment. Allele Biotech is developing its own system to use baculovirus for expression in mammalian cells that will avoid high costs associated with large scale transient transfection, or the time consuming stable cell line establishment.

Viral Services

Lentivirus/Retrovirus for Gene Expression

Our lentivirus and retrovirus packaging services are highlighted by a consistent high titer and large delivery viral counts. Typically, lentiviruses are packaged by co-transfecting a number of helper plasmids and in most cases amounting to 10^6 TU (transduction units)/ml which is considered a good titer yield. The proprietary packaging technologies that are used to perform Allele's virus packaging services are unique and highly efficient, yielding 10^8 to 10^9 TU/ml; without any concentrating steps. With a concentration step, however, 10^9 to 10^10 TU/ml can be achieved which is particularly useful for in vivo uses.

• Unbeatable Prices and bulk discounts
• Sample Infectivity Data and Warranty
• A rich collection of Lentiviral/Retroviral plasmids

Lentivirus/Retrovirus for RNA Interference

Effective delivery of RNAi reagents into cells remains a major barrier for achieving expected gene silencing results. Lentiviral or retroviral vectors provide the highest delivery rate into difficult-to-transfect cells, especially primary cells or in vivo tissues. Combined with the only patented Pol III promoter-driven shRNA or miRNA platform, Allele Biotech provides the most efficient RNAi service:

• Gene-to-Silence RNAi service, from design to virus. 5 viruses cost only $6,899.
• Sequence-to-Virus Full Service, from sequence to virus. Typical cost per shRNA is $1,749 before discounts.
• DNA-to-Virus Packaging Service, from plasmid to virus. As low as $899 with discounts.

mRNA Template Construction

mRNA expression is a highly effective way to exogenously express a desired construct in cells.  Our template construction service provides you with a PCR template that is ready to use for in vitro transcription (IVT) reactions to generate mRNA.  The templates are all optimized to enhance expression once your mRNA has been transfected.  Additionally Allele offers in vitro transcription services to deliver the final modified or unmodified mRNA product.
