Antibodies are specialized, Y-shaped proteins that bind like a lock-and-key to the body's foreign invaders whether they are viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites..
Biokit provides a wide range of high-quality antibodies validated for use in multiplex.
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been an invaluable tool for the detection, localization, and quantification of antigens in preserved tissue for research and diagnostic purposes. IHC is commonly used for morphological characterization of tumors or other tissue malignancies. IHC uses antibodies to detect and analyze protein expression while maintaining the composition, cellular characteristics, and structure of the native tissue.
Western Blot (WB) is a common method to detect and analyze proteins. It is built on a technique that involves transferring, also known as blotting, proteins separated by electrophoresis from the gel to a membrane where they can be visualized specifically.
Immunofluorescence is an assay which is used primarily on biological samples and is classically defined as a procedure to detect antigens in cellular contexts using antibodies. The specificity of antibodies to their antigen is the base for immunofluorescence.
Flow cytometry is an essential technique for immunology and cell biology for analyzing the properties of each cell in a sample population using fluorescence and light scattering. As a technique, flow cytometry has broad applications including analysis of cell surface and intracellular markers, cell viability, apoptosis, cell cycle analysis, cell phenotyping and for cell sorting.
