Tumor

Stem cell marker antibodies are used to identify and isolate stem cells in vitro. Whereas adult stem cells can only differentiate into one cell type, embryonic stem cells (ESCs) have the unique ability to differentiate into a large variety. Stem cells can be genetically manipulated into specific cell lines, and researchers have recently developed a promising new method of producing ESC-like cell lines from adult stem cells.

Enzyme antibodies are widely used in both apoptosis and cancer studies, as disruption of the proteins regulating apoptosis is known to lead to formation of tumor cells in certain cancers. We at Novus Biologicals are continually growing our enzyme antibody database offerings.

Fanconi anaemia (FA) is an autosomal-recessive disorder, characterized by skeletal abnormalities, progressive bone marrow failure and cellular hypersensitivity to DNA damaging agents such as Mitomycin C. FA also increases the likelihood of cancerous tumors and childhood leukemia.
