Primary Antibodies for Cancer Research
The specificity and sensitivity of antibodies can unlock discoveries in cancer research, but not all antibodies are created equal. We produce best-in-class antibodies against a variety of targets relevant to cancer research.
Recombinant Antibodies
Our Absolute Antibody brand specializes in recombinant antibodies, which ensure batch-to-batch reproducibility and enable new antibody engineering opportunities.
Our immunotherapy antibodies target clinically relevant antigens and include VivopureX™ mouse-anti-mouse antibodies with tailored effector function for therapeutic modulation and reduced immunogenicity in vivo.
Research-grade biosimilars are identical to therapeutic-grade biologics at a fraction of the cost and are available in different constant domains.
Additionally, we offer tumor marker antibodies built to bind specifically to tumor associated antigens.
Our LSBio brand specializes in IHC validation, offering more than 15,000 antibodies validated for immunohistochemistry with a focus on cancer biomarkers.
IHC-Plus™ antibodies have been rigorously tested to deliver optimal performance in immunohistochemistry (IHC) studies on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human tissues.
PathPlus™ antibodies represent the highest quality reagents available for research pathology applications, shown to be the best performing reagents for immunohistochemical detection of high-value cancer targets.
Our Everest brand specializes in anti-peptide and antigen affinity purified goat polyclonal antibodies, especially useful in applications that require high affinity antibodies at cost-effective prices.
The catalog contains thousands of goat antibodies against a broad range of human, mouse, and rat proteins of biomedical interest, like IGF1, FOXP3/SCURFIN, and CEP290. Many of Everest’s antibodies include validation data in ELISA and western blot (WB) applications.
These highly-cited antibodies from the Vector portfolio target antigens of interest in cancer research.
