If you find any defect upon receipt of the product(s), please inform us within 10 days. We will replace the faulty product(s) immediately.
If you received a product that does not work in your experiment, you do not need to return it; however, we do need your experimental data for the next process. Please obtain a troubleshooting form from us to fill in; we will make sure that you receive full support from our professional team.
If the antigen is a peptide, 2 mg will usually be sufficient before conjugation (1 mg for KLH, and 1 mg for BSA). If the antigen is a protein, 500µg/mice at concentration of 0.5-1 mg/ml is usually sufficient.
A novel highly efficient and robust wheat germ cell-free protein synthesis
system was developed by Professor Yaeta Endo of Ehime University, Japan.
The RNA N-glycosidase tritin and other inhibitors such as thionin,
ribonucleases, deoxyribonucleases, and proteases that originate from the
endosperm and inhibit translation were removed by extensive washing of
wheat germ embryo. The in vitro expression using the extract from wheat germ devoid of the inhibitors and optimized expression vector is highly efficient and stable, and is capable of translating a full length protein as long as 70-80 kDa.

We usually obtain 5ml of ascites from each Balb/c mouse and 8-10ml from each SCID mouse. The custom ascites service is based on number of mice used to generate the quantity of ascites needed by the customer. However, we cannot guarantee the same yield for every cell line since each may have a distinct growth characteristic. However, if an absolute quantity is desired, we can fulfill the request by inject more mice.
