Antibodies, Bioassays, and Cells: The ABCs of Immunochemistry

摘要

It's no surprise that immunochemistry forms a broad and solid basis of biopharmaceutical analytical laboratory work. Immunochemicals include antibiotics and antigens, nucleic acids and nucleotides, enzymes, lipids, antioxidants, probes and dyes, and proteins and peptides. Available from companies such as Advanced Immunochemical, Immundiagnostik, Lampire Biological Laboratories, and Rockland Antibodies and Assays, their many uses include antibody isotyping and fragmentation. Adjuvants, buffers, assaykits, target biomolecules, and phage-display systems support those applications. Because background and off-target effects complicate the study of antibodies, quality and purity of these reagents are critical to accurate results.
