New to our series of blogs on antibody research applications, today we are exploring the top targets for ICC, or immunocytochemistry. ICC is the staining and microscopic examination of cells, which are often grown in culture. This is not to be confused with immunohistochemistry (IHC), which involves the staining of tissues with their normal organisation […]
You’ve likely seen the great deal of coverage the media has been giving to the Zika virus recently – and here at CiteAb we have just listed our first anti-Zika antibody for use in research. Zika virus disease is caused by a virus transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitos, causing symptoms similar to the flu which […]
We have a number of new suppliers available on our Custom Antibody Listing, and we thought we would tell you a bit about our Custom Antibody Listing feature and about these new companies. The Custom Antibody Listing is the area of CiteAb dedicated to companies who provide custom affinity reagent services, including the production of custom antibodies, […]
An article published today in Nature calls for the large scale production of recombinant monoclonal antibodies, along with other recombinant affinity reagents including aptamers and affimers, for use in the research market. Andrew Bradbury and Andreas Pluckthun argue that this would lead to increased reproducibility and promote progress in biomedical research. Here at CiteAb we […]
Gene editing using the CRISPR-Cas system has generated tremendous excitement and promises to revolutionise many aspects of bioscience research. If you’ve not seen it already, do have a look at our introductory guide to CRISPR-Cas. A PubMed search reveals over 1000 publications which mention CRISPR but until recently there were no commercial antibodies to Cas9, […]
Starting a PhD is tough – it takes a while to get used to a new campus, new colleagues and a new beginning. If you’re working in the life sciences, chances are you’re going to be using antibodies in your research. You’ll probably be asked by your supervisor to find suitable antibodies, so I, Dr […]
We’re all very aware of the current heightened concern over the spread of Ebola, with the World Health Organisation confirming that 1,069 people have been killed by the virus in West Africa. First isolated in 1976 during outbreaks of an unidentified viral haemorrhagic fever in southern Sudan and northern Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly […]
Here at CiteAb we’re always interested to hear of any new developments in the world of affinity reagents and this week we’re taking a look at aptamers. While aptamers aren’t exactly new arrivals to the affinity reagent party, we are now beginning to see companies pop up that provide catalogue aptamers rather than custom designed […]
Whats the problem? So you’ve found the antibodies you need for your experiments (hopefully using CiteAb!), they helped you get some great results and now you’re ready to write your paper. How do you report the antibodies you used, it should be easy right? Perhaps not! What is surprising is that less than half of […]
CiteAb is the largest citation-ranked antibody search engine and database. It provides an impartial way to find and compare antibodies that work.
We use our database of antibody publications to produce unique antibody market data, income from this data allows us to remain free to list and impartial.
