This post was written by Alyssa Shepard and Angelo Nicolaci, a PhD student at Moffitt Cancer Center. Engineering usually calls to mind building things, lots of math, and maybe heavy machinery. But not all engineering is at a large scale — some is done on much smaller equipment ...
Imagine an antibody. Do you immediately visualize a Y-shaped protein reminiscent of the Addgene mascot Abi? If so, you are not alone. Full-sized antibodies dominate the world of research affinity reagents, and for good reason. However, sometimes you want a tool that is a little ...
While monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are readily available from several sources, fewer sources of recombinant antibodies (rAbs) exist (though Addgene has a great collection of ready-to-use rAbs and rAb plasmids!). Since recombinant antibodies conveniently allow for ...
The UN General Assembly has declared 2024 the International Year of Camelids. The declaration is intended to raise awareness of the economic and cultural importance of these animals to human populations around the world. Here at Addgene, we love camelids too, though not just for ...
You are a scientist looking to determine how Protein A and Protein B interact. You read extensive research on the two proteins and come up with a great experimental plan that requires indirect staining of both targets in your specimen. You scour the literature and find an ideal ...
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 ...
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, ...
If you were born before 1985, you might remember going to the store and buying CDs when you wanted to hear a piece of music. It was tough to share or remix the songs, the CDs could get scratched over time, and it was difficult to keep track of growing collections of music. I ...
