Imject™ Maleimide-Activated Blue Carrier™ Protein enables conjugation of a sulfhydryl-containing hapten to elicit an immune response and antibody production against the hapten. Blue Carrier™ Protein is a haemocyanin from the Concholepas concholepas mollusc with immunogenic properties similar to keyhole limpet haemocyanin. Blue Carrier™ Protein has a large mass (~8 × 106 Da) and has been successfully used in polyclonal and monoclonal antibody production for
synthetic haptens and peptides.

• Activated with more than 400 moles of sulhydryl-reactive maleimide per mole of carrier, ensuring consistently high levels of conjugation
• Elicits a stronger immune response than BSA or ovalbumin (OVA)
• Engineered for conjugating cysteine-containing peptide antigens to make effective immunogens for high-titer antibody production
• Complete the hapten-carrier conjugation reaction in two hours to yield sufficient immunogen for several injections and booster immunisations of host animals
