Antibody Sample SOP
Ideally, we would like to receive 0.5 ml antibody for testing. However, in some cases it poses a major obstacle for the investigator to sacrifice that much antibody for testing. In these cases, we recommend that you submit the amount of antibody that will be injected into a single animal. While this amount may be less than ideal, the good news is that our IMPACT assays are very sensitive, most have sensitivities that allow detection of 1-100 virions. Thus, even with limited volume of sample we should be able to detect any contaminating infectious agents.
