Antibodies have become indispensable tools in biomedical research, diagnostics and therapeutics. Camelid polyclonal antibodies derived from camelids such as llamas and alpacas have unique advantages over conventional antibodies due to their distinct structural properties and high stability. 

The Emergence of Camelid Polyclonal Antibodies

Camelid polyclonal antibodies were first discovered in the early 1990s when researchers found that camelids produce a unique type of antibody known as heavy-chain antibodies (HCAbs). These HCAbs lack light chains found in conventional antibodies and consist of a single variable domain called the variable domain of heavy-chain antibodies (VHH). VHHs, known as nanobodies, have since garnered significant interest due to their small size, high stability, and ability to bind to epitopes inaccessible to conventional antibodies.

Applications of Camelid Polyclonal Antibody Services

Custom camelid polyclonal antibody services can produce specific antibodies tailored to researchers' needs. Some key applications of camelid polyclonal antibodies include:

Protein Detection and Quantification: Camelid polyclonal antibodies can be used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunohistochemistry and Western blotting for detecting and quantifying target proteins.

Therapeutic Applications: Due to their high stability and ability to access unique epitopes, camelid polyclonal antibodies have potential applications in developing therapeutics, particularly in targeting intracellular proteins and pathogens.

Imaging and Diagnostics: The small size and high affinity of camelid polyclonal antibodies make them suitable for imaging techniques, such as single-molecule fluorescence microscopy and positron emission tomography.
