Do you ever wonder about the origins of some of the common techniques or tools you use in the lab? Take for instance, the commonly used Myc-tag. Who first started using it in protein tagging experiments? Why Myc? When did the commonly used anti-c-Myc [9E10] antibody come into ...
Have you ever been stuck googling about an antibody that will be essential to your new research project, but unsure which one will mark your target the best, or even which one will work for your application? Like many scientists, I have spent hours sifting through comments and ...
I love Addgene's new Antibody Guide and not just because I helped create it. But while antibodies, as the OG (as the kids say) affinity reagents deserved to be celebrated, there are many other amazing affinity reagents we just didn't have the space to give proper credit to. ...
Addgene has recently announced the launch of an open-access recombinant antibody resource called NABOR (Neuroscience AntiBody Open Resource). The antibodies distributed through NABOR are recombinant antibodies expressed from plasmids that have been deposited with Addgene. Here, ...
Addgene is thrilled to announce the launch of our latest community resource: Recombinant Antibodies! In addition to plasmids and viral vectors, you’ll now be able to order ready-to-use antibodies for your experiments directly from Addgene.
Your new antibody has arrived, hooray! Before you jump straight into the exciting new experiments that you’ve been planning, it is a good idea to pause and make sure that your antibody has been appropriately validated so that you can have confidence in your results. But what is ...
Picture this: you’ve been assigned an exciting new project aimed at understanding how a critical cellular pathway is regulated. You’ve read all the background papers you could get your hands on, formulated a hypothesis, and planned out your key experiments. Unsurprisingly, many ...
