The polyclonal antibodies Lee Biosolutions sells are derived from goats, chickens, rabbits and sheep.

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by the immunization of mammals. An antigen is injected into the mammal, which induces the B-lymphocytes to produce IgG immunoglobulin specific for the antigen. The IgG is then purified by mixing the mammal’s spleen cells with mutant myeloma cells, fusing them together and producing cells which can survive on HAT medium. The surviving colonies are separated and the desired antibodies are removed from each colony.
