When it comes to labeling cells for flow cytometric analysis, the most common method is a cell surface label, where fluorophore-conjugated antibodies directly bind to epitopes of interest that are found in the extracellular space. The targeted epitopes can be motifs within ...
When analyzing your cells using flow cytometry, you are typically measuring the presence or absence of certain markers on the surface or the inside of your cells. While proteins themselves can emit intrinsic fluorescence when excited with ultraviolet (UV) light, they do so via ...
In flow cytometry, compensation is the process of correcting spillover from one fluorescent channel to another. When you label your samples with multiple antibodies, the fluorescent probes on the antibodies may have similar emission spectra, meaning they will emit fluorescent ...
When using flow cytometry to analyze your samples, it is necessary to set up a sequence of gates to be able to select and precisely measure your cells of interest. In many experiments you’ll be working with a heterogeneous cell population, for example from a processed piece of ...
While the antibodies present throughout our bodies carry out plenty of roles just the way they are, the research antibodies in your refrigerator often need a little help to be useful. Mainly because, well, antibodies are kind of hard to see. To solve this issue, researchers ...
Our popular Antibodies 101 animation is becoming a TikTok series! Follow @addgene on TikTok for bite-sized portions of antibody concepts. Each short video answers an Antibodies 101 question, like "what is an antibody?" or "what is an IgE isotype?"
Ready to learn about antibodies? Our latest animation is here to help! Join Abi as they explain what antibodies are, their role in the immune response, and the different antibody isotypes found in mammals.
