Hybridoma Sequencing Service
Workflow
Extraction of Hybridoma mRNA
Hybridoma cells are harvested from culture, and RNA is extracted using a kit. The focus is on isolating mRNA, particularly the antibody-related transcripts. The RNA quality is checked to ensure it’s suitable for sequencing.
High-Throughput Sequencing
The extracted mRNA is converted into cDNA. A sequencing library is prepared, and the cDNA is sequenced using high-throughput NGS platforms. The quality of the sequencing data is then checked to ensure accuracy.
Transcript Assembly and Refinement
The raw sequencing data is assembled into transcript sequences without a reference genome. The assembly is optimized by removing low-quality sequences and duplicates. The final set of transcripts is validated for accuracy.
Search for lgH, lgL, and lgK Sequence
The assembled data is searched for heavy chain (lgH), light chain lambda (lgL), and kappa (lgK) sequences. The variable and constant regions are annotated, and the sequences are confirmed to be functional by comparing with antibody databases.
Service Description
Hybridoma cells are highly sensitive to contamination and suboptimal conditions, which can lead to the loss of antibody genes. To prevent this, timely extraction and sequencing of these genes are essential. By obtaining precise gene sequences, we can utilize recombinant antibody expression for consistent production, ensuring the long-term preservation of these valuable antibodies.
At Bon Opus BioScience, our hybridoma antibody sequencing service efficiently captures monoclonal antibody (mAb) genes, followed by optimized codon usage and gene synthesis strategies. This allows us to express and purify antibodies with high quality and reliability for our clients.
Our hybridoma services include:
-
Validation of hybridoma cell lines for antibody production, antibody isotyping, and antigen-binding specificity
-
RNA extraction and reverse transcription
-
scFv sequencing through PCR amplification and subcloning of the variable domains
-
Full antibody sequencing, including subcloning both variable and constant domains
