Our antibody search tool looks for the Antigenic Specificity of the antibody by default. It will look for all of the terms in your search string, so if you use many words in your string it may take a little longer and produce fewer results than a search using only one or two terms. If you get no results (or too few), try broadening your search by using a shorter search string, alternate name, or alternate spellings for your search term(s).

If you get too many results, you can narrow your search by adding search terms and/or using the pull down menus to limit the results. The pull down menus allow you to focus your search on specific parameters of the antibodies for which you are searching:

 

  • Host Species (animal in which the antibody was generated)
  • Reactive Species (species with which the antibody reacts)
  • Applications (uses for which the supplier has tested or recommends the antibody)
  • Conjugates/Formats (labels, purities and fragments in which antibodies are offered)
  • Isotype of Host Antibody (specific isotype or subclass of the antibody)
  • Clonality (monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies or hybridomas that may be available)


To search for a monoclonal antibody or hybridoma by clone name, first change the radio button selection from "Antigenic Specificity" to "Keyword". Note that the inconsistency in how suppliers write clone names can make it difficult to find all the listings with one search (e.g. a keyword search for “MEM55” may produce different results than a search for “MEM-55”).

 

To locate Secondary Antibodies, search the "Antigenic Specificity" for the species and class/isotype of the antibody you are targeting, e.g. "Mouse IgG2a" or "Rat IgM" etc.

 

If you are looking for isotype controls or other preimmune immunoglobulins, please use our Other Products/Services search tool and select “Immunoglobulins, Isotype Controls, Chains, Fragments & Conjugates”  from the "Product Type" pull down menu. Then search for the species and immunoglobulin of interest (e.g. “Mouse IgG2a”, “Human Kappa Chain”, “Chicken IgY” etc.). If you want a labeled control, include the conjugate name in your search (e.g. "Mouse IgG2a FITC").
