Antibodies continue to be some of the most valuable research tools available. Their sensitive and accurate recognition of specific proteins can be used for detection and quantitation in wide-ranging sample types. They are used in studying signal transduction mechanisms, blood group typing, detection of small tumors, and more recently in targeted immunotherapy in cancer treatment . Their remarkable specificity makes them promising agents for human therapy wherin antibody will bind only to the cancer cells. Coupling such an antibody to a cytotoxic agent can provide a complex that can seek and destroy only the cancer cells
The Antibodies for Cancer Research brochure features hundreds of antibodies and kits useful for studying several important areas of cancer research, including:
