4^th Workphase

Deadline for completion: due in 240 days from signing the contract

Role: The presentation and interpretation of the research results of the performed R&D work established in the research design

 

The contractor should prepare a summary research report in the end of every work phase that includes the perfomed tasks and achieved results in the particular workphase. The summary research report should include a comparison of the research technique that was used the obtain the scientific results with other methods that could have been used during the research and propose a future plan for the research and potential applications for it.

 

Eligibility criteria:

All tenderers to be considered must possess professional experience in producing poly- and monoclonal antibodies. Proinsulin tends to be a very difficult target for specific antibody production and the commercially available anti-Proinsulin antibodies proved to be non-specific in our assays. Therefore we prefer tenders in which conventional hybridoma production is applied in transgenic mice with improved immune response. Effectivity of the usage of these transgenic animals must be proved by reference.

To achieve the selection of the specific antibody producing hybridoma clone we require the immunization of at least 8 transgenic animals and the screening of 25 pieces of 96-well plates The client prefers tenders in which conventional hybridoma production is applied in transgenic mice with improved immune response. Effectivity of the usage of these transgenic animals must be proved by reference.

 

Proof of eligibility:

Tenderers must submit at least one adequate reference of the last 3 years of generating specific monoclonal antibody against a protein which similarly to Proinsulin was proved to be an immunologically difficult target.

Also, scientific reference of the improved immune response of the transgenic animals must be attached.

 

Notice:

The reference is acceptable if it includes the deadline of completion (month and year), the name of the tenderer, a contact person, the name and phone number of contact person, the subject of service and the contribution of the co-workers to the research.

The tenderer must submit a statement that excludes the conflict of interest and proves their match the eligibility criteria. The statement will be an attachment of the official tenderer proposal.

 

Formal requirements for a valid offer:

• Name, address, contact information and the contact person of the tenderer
• Includes an offer for the full service charge in EUR
• Documents that prove the eligibility
  • References
  • Summary of the applied technology and advantages of the transgenic animals
  • The tenderer statement should prove the exclusion of the conflict of interest and that their match the eligibility criteria.
