Team - INGENASA

About Us
INGENASA is a SME Biotechnology company dedicated to the research, development, production and commercialisation of products for the Animal Health sector with 25 years history in this field. INGENASA is active in areas of prevention of animal diseases and has participated in several European project funded by the EU in the BRIDGE, BIOTECH, FAIR, FP5 and FP6 programmes. Our present focus is in the following areas:
  • Development of diagnostics and vaccines against animal viruses
  • Gene expression technology
  • Monoclonal antibodies development
  • Epitope mapping
  • Molecular diagnosis (PCR, RFLPs, real-time PCR)

Objectives
Development and Clinical Evaluation of new antibody based assays for the rapid detection of new respiratory viruses in the elderly

Description of work
Production of recombinant baculoviruses/E. coli expressing proteins of respiratory viruses. Production of purified recombinant proteins of respiratory viruses. Obtention of hybridomas producing specific MAbs against the different protein of respiratory viruses. Development of diagnostic methods (ELISAs, immunochromatographies) for antibodies/antigens detection.

- Cloning, expression and purification of target proteins from
  different respiratory viruses. Two different expression systems
  will be used: E.Coli and Baculovirus system.
- Development of diagnostic assays for detection of viral
  respiratory infections in elderly.
