How to Cite an Antibody in a Scientific Publication?
As more than half of the antibodies used in research cannot be properly identified, it is absolutely crucial to include information, which will allow antibody identification by researchers who want to repeat your experiments. Some journals provide a guideline for antibody citation, unfortunately most of them do not. This issue is most often completely overlooked. Find out how to cite your antibody here.

Posters on Photosynthesis
Updated photosynthetic posters developed by Professor Govindjee, Professor Lars Olof Björn and  Dr Dmitry Shevela,are available in format A0 to decorate your office or lab wall. Contact Sapphire Bioscience to order a complimentary print copy of this poster.

Alpaca-derived nanobodies as part of the antibody ‘toolbox’

Rabbit and mouse antibodies are mainstay reagents found in all biological research labs, but some of you have likely heard the buzz around camelid antibodies. Camelids include camels, llamas, alpacas, and other lesser known species, though llamas and alpacas are the most commonly used camelids for antibody development since they are easier to handle....
