Addgene now distributes ready-to-use recombinant antibodies. These monoclonal antibodies are produced in-house and undergo application-specific validation and quality control by Addgene as well as by our trusted partner labs. On this page you will find the antibodies currently available from our catalog. Our initial collection focuses on neuroscience applications and is part of our Neuroscience AntiBody Open Resource (NABOR).

Addgene values transparency and accessibility in research. For each antibody, we provide important details including the protein and plasmid sequence, the antigen sequence, and cross-species reactivity. Reactivity is based on validation data from Addgene or trusted partner labs or is predicted based on sequence homology with the antigen. Addgene supplies a list of recommended applications based on our in-house testing and data provided by trusted outside labs - with full experimental details in the Antibody Applications section of our product pages. We also include negative results when an antibody’s use is not recommended for an application or species. We currently assess western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry. Addgene will continue to work with both depositing and recipient scientists to further develop and refine these application lists. The plasmids we use to produce antibodies are available as part of Addgene’s larger Antibody Plasmid Collection, which also includes other types of affinity reagents such as scFvs, DARPins, Fabs, and secondary antibodies.
