MXRA8 - The Alphavirus receptor
MXRA8 has recently been shown to be a viral entry receptor for Chikungunya and related viruses. We are pleased to release mammalian expressed recombinant MXRA8, to facilitate research into potential therapeutic options for blocking viral entry
Zika total antibody immunoassay
Our new ELISA assay for detecting serological responses to Zika has a novel format, excellent specificity and sensitivity, and an assay time of less than 2 hours! It’s also suitable for measuring Zika responses in any species, so perfect for animal model studies.
Mammalian protein expression services
Our proprietary mammalian expression system uses HEK293 cells in suspension culture. If you need a protein with high purity, with proper glycosylation and folding, our contract services may be exactly what you need.
About The Native Antigen Company
The Native Antigen Company (NAC) specialise in the development and manufacture of native and recombinant viral and bacterial antigens, antibodies and immunoassays. Our antigens are used by leading pharmaceutical companies and IVD manufacturers in vaccine research and serology where proper folding and glycosylation are vital. As well as offering antigens from a rapidly expanding portfolio, NAC now offers an increasing range of highly specific antibodies and ELISA immunoassays. Our expertise is also available to customers on a contract basis for those needing custom protein manufacture in our proprietary mammalian cell protein expression system, together with antibody and immunoassay development.
Contract and Custom services
With a foundation of decades of experience in the field of native antigen and recombinant protein contract research, process development and production, NAC is able to undertake custom projects to manufacture your proteins and antigens, prepare antibodies and develop immunoassays. Our development laboratories are fully staffed by a team of PhD molecular biologists and development scientists who are able to execute projects as short as a few days through to long term programmes of a year or more.
