Antibodies

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) is a frequently used technique that allows researchers to determine if an antigen is expressed by specific cellular or sub-cellular compartments via the use of antibodies. Many research-grade antibodies are suitable for ICC analysis, however many are not or have not been tested.

We are excited to announce that we will be exhibiting at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 101st Annual Meeting. AACR brings researchers together from across the globe, and as an international antibody supplier, we at Novus Biologicals are enthusiastic about being part of it! This year's Annual Meeting will be held at the Walter E.

The end of March has proven to be a busy time for the Novus antibody lab. Seven new antibodies were launched, numerous antibody conjugations completed, and continuous quality control testing of new antibody lots.

We at Novus Biologicals are constantly creating new stem cell lines for a variety of bioassays – they are an essential part of our antibody catalog. Although stem cells are derived from many types of tissue, both adult and human, there is much controversy over their use.

Tumor necrosis factor alpha has been shown to be important in the cellular response to chronic heart failure, with signaling taking place through the receptor isotypes TNFR1 and TNFR2. We at Novus Biologicals have a large number of TNF-related antibodies in our database. Many of today's studies are based on information gained by Defer et al. in 2007.

The CD44 family comprises a number of immunologically similar glycoproteins, which are expressed on the membranes of endothelial, mesenchymal, leukocyte and hepatocyte cells. The CD44 family has a number of functions. CD44 antibody assays have shown some that some isoforms play a role in abnormal gene splicing in human cells.

Conjugated antibodies are a useful research tool in a variety of applications, ranging from Western blot to flow cytometry. We at Novus Biologicals offer many primary antibodies conjugated to enzymes such as HRP, fluorochromes such as FITC, and others including biotin and cyanine dyes.

We at Novus Biologicals have a large number of products in our antibody database which are used for metabolic research. A new Adropin antibody is a recent addition, and is used in obesity research. Although not life-threatening in its own right, obesity – as we all know - can lead to a host of more serious illnesses including heart disease, stroke and diabetes.

Apoptosis inhibitors are a well studied group of proteins that have been implicated in the formation of several types of human tumor. The most commonly studied IAP (inhibitor of apoptosis protein) is the Survivin antibody. However, our apoptosis antibody catalog at Novus Biologicals is constantly being updated to reflect the growing list of newer proteins. cIAP1 and cIAP2 antibodies are among the more recent of our anti-apoptosis products.

The antibody lab technicians here at Novus Biologicals are constantly busy conducting purifications, conjugations and QC analysis in order to maintain our antibody catalog of over 100,000 products. Just this past week, the lab team conjugated numerous antibodies and tested several newly purified antibody lots.
