​

The LERI’s work leads to technological applications, often enhanced by patenting (use of acetylcholinesterase in immunoassays), by the sale of reagents (mainly antibodies) and by technology transfer. This team manages all the technical aspects for developing immunoassays (ELISA assays, testing strips, Western blotting...), from the production of antibodies (polyclonal, monoclonal, recombinant) to the labeling of molecules (enzymes, fluorescent compounds...). It also ensures the validation of these assays in real application conditions and is able to take the development of an assay to a pre-industrial stage.

Today, its main areas of application are: toxins or pathogens detection (bacteria or viruses), the use of antibodies for new assays formats or new tools and the development of antibodies with neutralizing activity against toxins or pathogens.
