Antibodies 101: Epitope Availability

Rachel Leeson January 11, 2022

If you work in a lab that regularly does immunoimaging, there’s likely a large collection of antibodies in your lab. Perhaps you’re even in that mythical place where antibodies are well-organized, documented, and easy to find (though we might need to see it to believe it.) As ...
