Title: “The Importance of Antibody Validation and an Overview of CST’s in TraSeq Technology”
Presenter: A. Vicki McCulloch Bowden, Ph.D.
Abstract: Choosing the correct antibody for your experiment is critical to its success. In order to do this, one must understand the importance of the validation process for the antibody’s specificity and how it has been tested in the needed applications. This is true no matter where you obtain your antibody.
At Cell Signaling Technology, we look at the validation process of each new antibody as a scientific project. By carefully tailoring the combination of validation strategies applied to each product, we can guarantee that our antibodies are fit for purpose. This means customizing our validation process according to the biological role of the target while considering the downstream assay’s sensitivity requirements, the availability of appropriate testing models, and the relevance of each method to the target investigation.
Because of this rigorous approach to antibody validation, we are also able to develop technology and services that can help in the advancement of your research. One such example is our InTraSeq technology. This innovative platform enables detection of RNA, surface proteins, intracellular proteins, and post translational modifications (PTM’s) at single resolution – offering unparallelled insights into cellular mechanisms that traditional single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) cannot provide.
