PLEASE READ:  After a long search, there are two antibodies against two different antigens that I can recommend for testing our system.  For future reference, when searching for antibodies here are some tips:

  • Antibody Most antibody databases are woefully incomplete so they actually aren't a great place to look for antibodies.  They do give you a good idea of what kind of antigens people are raising antibodies against, though.
  • If you have an antigen in mind, searching PDB can get you to some antibody names.  Then use those antibody names to do a deeper literature search to see if you can find the sequence or binding information you need.
  • Cross-check peptide sequences from companies that sell your antigens to make sure the sequence matches that of the antibody's binding site.  Try to do this early on or you might be sad.
