miREIA is a novel, immunoassay-based method of miRNA quantification which involves hybridisation of miRNA isolated from a patient sample to complementary biotinylated DNA oligonucleotide probe. The DNA/RNA hybrids are then captured by a microtiter plate-immobilized monoclonal antibody specific to perfectly matched DNA/miRNA hybrids. The next steps in the assay procedure follow standard ELISA protocols and the assay can be run on common immunoassay equipment. The method is compatible with standard clinical workflow, does not require amplification steps and results are obtained in less than three hours, including miRNA profiling.

BioVendor produces a wide range of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies.

Monoclonal antibodies are prepared using hybridoma technology. Selected hybridoma cells are cloned and the antibodies obtained are then protein-G purified.

Polyclonal antibodies are prepared by immunizing experimental animals using optimized immunization protocols and the resultant antibodies are then purified on antigen-immobilized columns.
