Other Primary Antibodies

What are Antibodies

Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are proteins produced by the immune system that are used to identify and neutralize foreign substances. They are able to do so by binding to specific molecules, called antigens, located on the surface of these foreign substances. The ability of antibodies to selectively bind to specific antigens has led to the development of a wide range of applications for them in various fields such as medicine, biotechnology, and research.

Applications of Antibodies in Research

Antibodies are widely used in research applications as a means to study the structure and function of proteins and other biomolecules. Immunoassays like Western blotting (WB), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunofluorescence (IF), dot blot (DB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and immunocytochemistry (ICC) all employ the use of specific and sensitive antibodies, depending on the target.

CRISPR/Cas9 System and Antibodies

More recently, antibodies have found application in the study of the CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats)/Cas9 (CRISPR associated protein 9) system, the powerful genetic engineering tool that allows for precise and efficient editing of the genome via the delivery of RNA-guided nuclease (Cas9) and specific guide RNAs (gRNA) into a cell.
