Antagene Inc. — Custom Antibodies, Peptide Synthesis and Preclinical Research Services

Antagene Inc. is a San Jose, California life-science company that develops and produces custom antibodies — polyclonal, monoclonal and phosphospecific — alongside peptide synthesis, immunoassay development and animal model services for university, biotech and pharmaceutical researchers.

The company pairs a catalog of over 4,000 antibodies with custom production on a fast 2-month turnaround, and a discovery platform, the Antibody Atlas, built to find antibodies for organisms and targets that conventional screening misses. Antagene is on the Launchpad looking for distribution partners.

About the Brand

Antibodies for the Organisms the Industry Overlooks

Antagene starts from a gap in the research-tooling market: most catalog antibodies target a narrow set of common model organisms, while large parts of life-science research — on plants, fungi, cattle, poultry, fish, insects and worms — are left under-served. The company develops and produces antibodies across that broader range of life forms, and supports the surrounding research community with the services those projects need.

Its discovery engine is the Antibody Atlas, a rapid screening platform developed with partners. A patented dual-assay instrument aligns and captures biomolecules from antibody-producing cells across multiple slides, registering phenotypic data — affinity and specificity — together with genotypic data, including complete VH and VL sequences. The aim is to identify and characterize antibodies that conventional screening overlooks.

For production work, Antagene offers custom polyclonal, monoclonal and phosphospecific antibodies with a fast 2-month turnaround, free antigenicity analysis and optional modifications, with immunization, purification (Protein A/G and peptide affinity) and screening (ELISA and Western Blot) handled in-house. Its animal services run in a USDA-registered facility, and its animal model program is USDA-accredited and NIH Assured.

Why It Exists

The Research Gap

Antagene's own diagnosis of the problem it was built to solve — in the brand's words.

Catalogs Cover a Narrow Slice of Life

Most antibody catalogs concentrate on a few standard organisms. Research on plants, fungi, livestock, poultry, fish, insects and worms often has no off-the-shelf antibody to buy.

Hard Targets Fail Conventional Screening

Some antibodies are simply elusive: single-assay screening misses candidates whose affinity, specificity and sequence data are never captured together.

Custom Work Is Slow and Fragmented

Antibody production, peptide synthesis, assay development and animal work usually sit with separate vendors, each with its own queue — stretching a single project across months of hand-offs.

The Services

What Antagene Offers

Custom Antibody Development

Custom polyclonal, monoclonal and phosphospecific antibodies with a fast 2-month turnaround: free antigenicity analysis, immunization, purification by Protein A/G or peptide affinity, and screening by ELISA and Western Blot. Antibody characterization — purity testing (SDS-PAGE, SEC), binding assays (ELISA, flow cytometry) and functional evaluation (neutralization, ADCC, CDC) — is available on the same bench.

Peptide Synthesis & Immunoassays

Custom peptide synthesis by Fmoc, t-Boc or solution-phase methods with purification and quality control at every stage, and custom immunoassay kits for immunogenicity studies (IgG, IgE, IgM), protein and peptide measurement and enzyme detection — in sandwich, antigen-coated and rapid one-step formats.

Animal Models & Ascites Production

Ascites production in a USDA-registered facility — priming and cell preparation, hybridoma inoculation and monitoring, and purification (15–20 mg IgG) — with the customer's hybridoma kept proprietary. Animal model and preclinical services are USDA-accredited and NIH Assured: disease modeling, toxicology, tumor modeling, immunization, breeding and histology.

How It Works

From Target to Verified Antibody

1. Share the Target

Send the antigen or sequence. Antagene runs a free antigenicity analysis and recommends a production route — polyclonal, monoclonal or phosphospecific.

2. Production

Immunization and production proceed in-house, with custom antibodies on a fast 2-month turnaround, and purification by Protein A/G or peptide affinity.

3. Screened Delivery

Every batch is screened by ELISA and Western Blot before delivery, with optional characterization — purity, binding, affinity and functional testing — for teams that need deeper data.
