YamayBio Mariculture SHC is a purified shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) hemocyanin. It can serve as a substitute for Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) as a carrier protein for conjugation with low molecular weight molecules such as peptides, nucleic acids, drugs, or toxins, imparting high immunogenicity to them. Testing has shown that SHC exhibits comparable immunogenicity to KLH, while its solubility (especially after conjugation with haptens) is significantly higher than that of KLH, providing greater flexibility in immunogen preparation protocols.
