AffiBIOTECH's Antibodies in Research and Diagnostics

​​

Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are essential tools in both research and clinical diagnostics. These proteins are produced by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign substances like bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells. Antibody-based technologies, such as those provided by AffiBIOTECH, play a critical role in detecting and studying disease markers, proteins, and antigens. This article highlights a selection of antibody products from AffiBIOTECH, focusing on their applications in cancer research, immune studies, and diagnostic assays.

ABT Antibody Cytokeratin: A Vital Tool in Cancer Diagnostics

The ABT Antibody Cytokeratin from AffiBIOTECH is designed to detect cytokeratins, proteins that form part of the structure of epithelial cells. Cytokeratins are key biomarkers in carcinoma research, helping researchers and clinicians identify cancerous cells in tissue samples. This antibody is widely used in immunohistochemistry (IHC) to detect tumor cells in cancers like breast cancer and lung cancer. By targeting cytokeratin proteins, the ABT Antibody Cytokeratin enables precise cancer diagnosis and helps guide treatment decisions for patients (Cancer Research UK, European Institute of Oncology).

Anti-IFN Monoclonal Antibody: Essential for Immune System Research

Interferons (IFNs) are proteins that play a central role in the body's immune response, particularly in fighting viral infections and regulating the immune system. The Anti-IFN Monoclonal Antibody from AffiBIOTECH is highly specific for detecting interferons, making it a critical tool in studies related to autoimmune diseases, viral infections, and cancer immunotherapy. This monoclonal antibody is frequently used in labs researching the immune system's role in disease progression and treatment, helping researchers understand how interferons influence immune responses (Institut Pasteur, European Medicines Agency).

Antiserum Anti-Human: A Powerful Diagnostic Tool

Antiserum is a blood serum that contains polyclonal antibodies, which can bind to and neutralize a wide range of antigens. The Antiserum Anti-Human offered by AffiBIOTECH is used in serological assays to detect the presence of human antigens, such as those produced during infections or immune responses. This product is widely employed in research and diagnostics for studying infectious diseases and immunological disorders. Its application in tests like Western blotting and ELISA makes it a key reagent in both research and clinical diagnostics (Karolinska Institutet, Public Health England).

AB Polyclonal Antibody: Versatile and Highly Effective

The AB Polyclonal Antibody from AffiBIOTECH is an essential tool for researchers who need to detect multiple epitopes on a single antigen. Polyclonal antibodies, unlike monoclonal antibodies, recognize several binding sites, making them more versatile in applications like immunoprecipitation, ELISA, and Western blotting. This antibody is ideal for detecting low-abundance proteins and is widely used in early biomarker detection and protein expression studies. Its flexibility and high sensitivity make it a staple in many laboratories (EMBL, University of Copenhagen).

Actin Antibody Kit: Essential for Cell Biology Studies

Actin, a key protein involved in maintaining cell shape and structure, is a critical focus of cell biology research. The Actin Antibody Kit from AffiBIOTECH is designed for studying cytoskeletal dynamics, cell motility, and muscle contraction. This kit is widely used in techniques like immunofluorescence and Western blotting to visualize actin within cells. Researchers studying cell migration, cancer metastasis, and wound healing rely on this kit to explore actin's role in these processes, making it a foundational product in cell biology and molecular biology research (Max Planck Institute, University of Oxford).

Polyclonal Anti-Antibody: Broad Applications in Diagnostics

The Polyclonal Anti-Antibody from AffiBIOTECH is highly effective for detecting and quantifying various proteins in complex biological samples. Its ability to bind multiple epitopes makes it a go-to option for enzyme immunoassays, Western blots, and immunocytochemistry. This broad reactivity is particularly valuable in diagnostics, where detecting a wide array of protein markers is essential for comprehensive analysis. Laboratories focusing on protein quantification and biomarker discovery frequently use this antibody in their assays (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), Pasteur Institute).

Antibody Conjugated IgG: Improved Detection for Immunoassays

AffiBIOTECH's Antibody Conjugated IgG is a specialized product designed to enhance immunoassay sensitivity. This antibody is conjugated to reporter molecules like horseradish peroxidase (HRP) or fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), improving the accuracy of ELISA, immunofluorescence, and other diagnostic assays. Its ability to produce clear, reliable results makes it ideal for clinical diagnostics and research focused on detecting low levels of antigens in biological samples. This product ensures greater precision in disease diagnosis and protein detection (European Federation of Immunological Societies, University of Cambridge).

Alpha Antibody Anti: A Critical Tool for Studying Protein Expression

The Alpha Antibody Anti from AffiBIOTECH is a specialized product used to detect and study alpha subunits of various proteins. This antibody is widely applied in research on signal transduction, cell differentiation, and hormone regulation. By targeting specific protein subunits, this antibody helps researchers understand how proteins interact and regulate vital cellular processes. It is often used in cancer research, where understanding protein function can lead to new therapeutic targets (Institut Curie, EMBL).

Annexin Antibody: Key in Apoptosis Research

Annexins are a family of proteins involved in regulating cell death (apoptosis) and membrane dynamics. The Annexin Antibody from AffiBIOTECH is essential for studying apoptosis, which plays a crucial role in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and immune disorders. Researchers use this antibody to identify apoptotic cells in tissue samples, providing valuable insights into how cells respond to stress and disease conditions. It is a critical reagent in cancer research, where therapies often aim to trigger apoptosis in cancer cells (Karolinska Institutet, University of Edinburgh).
