I am looking for a comprehensive protocol for immunizing rabbits with a soluble protein. Specifically, I need detailed information on the following aspects:
Rabbit Age and Preparation: What is the recommended age for rabbits used in immunization studies, and are there any specific preparation steps required prior to immunization?
Immunization Schedule: Could you provide a detailed immunization schedule, including the number of immunization doses, intervals between doses, and any adjuvants that should be used?
Spleen Cell/PBMC Isolation: What are the best practices for isolating spleen cells or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from immunized rabbits for single B cell cloning? Any specific techniques or protocols that ensure high-quality cell isolation would be greatly appreciated.
