Proper design of a suitable antigen is often the most crucial step in ultimately deriving a useful antibody. Our team of scientists led by Dr. Yen, a seasoned immunologist / immunochemist, has accumulated a wealth of experience in assisting investigators for more than twenty-five years and has successfully raised antibodies against problematic proteins including GPCR, channel proteins, and post-translationally modified proteins that often require special epitope designs as well as customized immunization regimens.  

At YenZym we approach each investigator's antibody project just as we do with all our in-house R&D projects. The success of an anti-peptide antibody depends heavily on efforts put in during the initial phase of protein analysis and epitope designs. The more information gained by access of databases and perusal of publications, the better the design of optimal epitopes for successful antibody production.
