Press Releases in 2010

GAP43 antibodies, also known as growth associated protein 43 antibodies, are widely employed neuronal markers.  Novus Biologicals' new GAP43 antibody (catalog number NBP1-41123) is a well tested neuronal marker and has already been cited in 21 publications.  This sheep polyclonal anti-GAP43 antibody is useful for Western blot analysis where a band can be seen at 43-48kDa.

Veterinary research is a well established and growing field for studying animal reproduction, infectious disease, cancer and more.  Novus Biologicals provides an extensive line of antibodies for veterinary research.  Novus' vet antibody line includes species such as bovine, canine, chicken, equine, feline, goat, porcine and sheep.  Use the links below to browse vet antibodies by species.

Plasmids are circular molecules of DNA found in bacteria that are separate from the bacterial chromosome. Novus Biologicals new Plasmid DNA Purification Kits allow researchers to easily isolate plasmid DNA from bacteria using MiniPrep, MidiPrep and MaxiPrep methods.

Novus Biologicals revealed the newest addition to their antibody company this week - the Novus Antibody Machine^TM.  This car, fully decaled in antibody graphics and sporting the Novus logo and name "Antibody Machine," will be used for local deliveries in the Cambridge area, local collections, local advertising, and for transport to conferences and exhibitions around Europe.

Novus Biologicals is sponsoring The 4th Annual Gift of Life and Breath 5K Run/Walk. This event is dedicated to raising awareness and funding to support the critical research needed for early detection of lung cancer.

Novus Biologicals is excited to announce the release of a new Antibody Concentration and Clean Up Kit, for use with Lightning Link Antibody Labeling Kits.  This new kit allows researchers to use any antibody, regardless of the buffer or concentration, with Lightning Link Ki

Novus Biologicals released a new antibody to Sulfatase 2 this past week.  This Sulfatase 2 antibody (catalog number NBP1-36727) has been tested by Western blot analysis on MCF7 conditioned media and by immunohistochemical analysis on non-small-cell lung carcinoma.  It also cross-reacts with human and mouse, and is useful for immunoprecipitation and ELISA.

Novus Biologicals is excited to announce the launch of two mouse monoclonal anti-VEGF antibodies.  The immunogen for clone VG76e (cat# NB100-648) is the human VEGF189 isoform expressed in E. coli, whereas BALB/C mice were injected with a recombinant VEGF protein to produce clone VG1 (cat# NB100-664). 

Novus Biologicals launched a new mouse monoclonal anti-PCNA antibody this week (cat# NB500-106).  Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA), also known as polymerase delta auxiliary protein, is essential for DNA replication and is involved in DNA excision and mismatch repair pathways.  It binds to the CDK inhibitor p21, the structure-specific endonucleases Fen1 and XPG, and DNA cytosine 5-methyltransferase (MCMT).  PCNA is a potentially useful marker of cells with proliferative potential and for identifying the proliferation
