Abstract:
Monoclonal antibody research center first established by Tabriz University of medical sciences in 2011 to provide service and research. This research center is mean to concentrate and coordinate research and production of antibodies against human and animal cells.
Production of synthetic and semisynthetic monoclonal antibodies needed for research centers and companies, production of laboratorial kits for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes have played an important role in approaching to Iran’s national research goals.
In a short period of time this center has produced many antibodies such as antibody against sperm surface antigen, anti-ferritin, PSA, BSA, Inhibin, different cancerous peptides and more than 68 polyclonal, enzyme-conjugated and Fluorescent-conjugated products. In this research center polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies can be produced and purified. One of the other purposes of this research center is educating Iranian researchers, sharing technologies with other centers and holding research workshops. This research center is a member of European biotechnology network, so in order to cooperate with this network, beside many productive and research projects, t6his center has held practical and theoretical workshops about monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies.
