Hi Dennis,

we have tried the immunization service offered by Eurogentec
in Belgium. Costs are $300 for the immunization of one rabbit.
You will get the pre-immunization serum, a small test sample
after the first boost, a large taking of blood after the second
boost (5ml) and the final bleeding (ca. 50ml).
We have got good antisera and bad ones too, but I think, this is
more dependent on the antigen.
Hope this helps

Andreas
