On antibodies-online.com we have started offering ELISA kits some months ago. The ever increasing number of kits we offer has already reached more than 28.000 ELISA kits for various antigenes: »Show ELISA kits

BioMed Central and Genome Biology’s conference ‘Beyond the Genome: The true gene count, human evolution and disease genomics’ takes place at Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA on 11-13 October 2010. This international conference will see leading researchers and industry representatives review recent progress in key areas of post-genomic research in biology and medicine and chart future developments, including the Human Microbiome Project and the resequencing of matched tumour and normal genomes from specific types of cancers. All participants are invited to submit abstracts for oral and poster presentations by 6 August 2010. Visit www.beyondthegenome2010.com for further information.

The research in the human plasmatic proteins field expands very rapidly. The technical challenge to analyze this proteome stems from the large quantity of plasmatic proteins. Some proteins are highly abundant, such as Human Serum Albumin (HSA), and prevent the detection of rare proteins. The depletion of HSA, by an anti-HSA antibodies, allows the detection of such rare proteins which could be medicinal targets or biological markers. This »anti-HSA antibody may be coupled to magnetic beads to be used in blood research for the depletion of HSA by applying magnetism.

On antibodies-online you will find Agro-Bio kits, like for example EggsPure, for the purification of IgY from eggs. Additionally, you may find trypsin that has been immobilized on magnetic beads (EnzyBeads), that allows the digest of proteins, and subsequently an easy removal-step of the trypsin simply using a magnet.

IRDye800 conjugated antibodies are specifically designed for protein detection methods that use near-infrared (IR) fluorophores to visualize proteins in western blotting and other applications, like for example immunofluorescence microscopy with excitation/emission filters in the 780nm/820nm range. Very low background fluorescence in the IR range provides for a much higher signal-to-noise ratio than visible fluorophores. Western blot detection levels for instance are in the picogram range. Some examples for secondary antibodies conjugated with IRDye800 are goat anti-chicken IgG, donkey anti-goat IgG, and rabbit anti-goat antibodies, as well as many more available on antibodies-online in the secondary antibodies section.  » Read more

ELISA kits allow for a highly sensitive and specific detection of various chemical substances and drugs. On antibodies-online we offer a wide range of such kits against substances including antibiotics and antibacterials like Nitrofuran, Ampicillin, Benzyl penicillin, Chloramphenicol, Enrofloxacin, Florfenicol, Fluoroquinolones, Gentamicin, Neomycin, Olaquindox, Streptomycin, Sulfamethazine, Sulfamethoxydiazine, Sulfonamides, Tetracyclines.  » Read more

Pharmaceutical companies are getting increasingly interested in the solute carrier (SLC) protein family. Several are active in the blood brain barrier and are being investigated as potential aids for drugs delivery by allowing new drugs to mimic the specific solutes.  » Read more

A recent study from March 2010 in the Journal Plant Physiology investigated the mechanisms of energy-transfer in the photosystem II. The light-energy transfer is of great importance in this context, in which the light-harvesting chlorophyll (LHC) proteins play an important role. antibodies-online.com offers the LHC II-antibody that has been utilized in this study.

A recent study published in PNAS provides evidence for the possibility of an increased pathogenicity after avian H5N1 and H3N2 influenza virus cocirculate. The resulting reassortants of the two stains of viruses cocirculating in mice were analyzed genetically and many showed features of both viruses, some of which had an increased pathogenicity.  » Read more

The COX2 enzyme is a component of the respiratory chain complex involved in the transfer of electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen. COX2 is located in the inner membrane of eukaryotic mitochondria, including plants, and can therefore be utilized as a marker for mitochondrial content. antibodies-online.com offers a chicken IgY antibody against COX2, which has been utilized in a recent study. This antibody has been used for Western Blotting (WB) in the determination of the purity of cell-lysate fractions of membrane and cytosol.
