In this article, we discuss methods for generating custom antibodies using peptide antigens including peptide antigen design considerations and options for generating antigenic peptides.   In general, synthetic peptides are too small to elicit an immunogenic response. Peptide antigens can [...]

Exenatide is a synthetic 39-amino acid peptide used in the treatment of insulin-treated type 2 diabetes. This GLP-1 analogue is resistant to enzymatic degradation unlike the human Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) peptide.
