Investigate proteins involved in sucrose metabolism with Agrisera antibodies
Sucrose metabolism plays a crucial role in energy production, carbon partitioning, and sugar transport. It is therefore essential for cellular function, growth and development in plants. Using Agrisera antibodies, proteins involved in various stages of this process can be tracked. Sucrose breakdown involves an enzyme called sucrase (invertase), which cleaves sucrose into the monosaccharides glucose and fructose. Sucrose biosynthesis occurs primarily in the cytoplasm of photosynthetic cells, and involves the enzymes sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) and sucrose phosphate phosphatase (SPP). These enzymes are involved in the production of sucrose, which can then be transported to other plant tissues for storage or energy utilization. Check out Agrisera's full collection of antibodies to proteins involved in sucrose metabolism. |

Shorten the time of Western blot or IL by using directly conjugated primary antibodies
To directly conjugated a primary antibody to an enzyme, like ALP or HRP, or a fluorescent dye, like DyLight®, the antibody must be of the highest purity; purified against the specific antigen. Q: What are the benefits of using directly conjugated primary antibodies? A: The time necessary to complete all steps of a Western blot or immunolocalization protocol, is shortened considerably, as there is no need for secondary antibody incubation and subsequent washes, before the final reaction can be visualized. Potential cross-reactions, which may occur when using secondary antibodies, are also eliminated. Possible sample loss due to washing steps is also reduced. Until end of 2024, all directly conjugated Agrisera primary antibodies are discounted by 10%, when applying the discount code Primconj10. Check out the complete Agrisera collection of directly conjugated primary antibodies here. | Using directly conjugated primary antibodies, is most beneficial for protein targets of high and moderate abundance in the analyzed tissue. |
20 % off for antibodies to proteins involved in electron transfer in photosynthesis
Electron transfer in the thylakoid membrane generates energy through the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The enzyme ATP synthase catalyzes the formation of ATP from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi), using the proton gradient established across the membrane. Additionally, NADPH, produced during electron transfer, serves as a source of reducing power for the Calvin cycle, where carbon dioxide is fixed and converted into carbohydrates. This process in the thylakoid membrane plays a crucial role in harnessing light energy and converting it into chemical energy. Agrisera's collection of antibodies to proteins involved in electron transfer offers you the following advantages:

Wide species range of blocking serum for ELISA and immunolocalization
For most immunoassays, like immunolocalization, ELISA or Western blot, blocking is a crucial step. This procedure blocks spaces that are not occupied by immobilized proteins, and thus prevents non-specific binding of the antibodies used in the assay. If blocking is not performed, false signals or high background will occur. If normal serum is used as a blocker, it is recommended to use serum derived from the same host species as the detection antibody, conjugated with a reporter enzyme, like HRP (Horseradish peroxidase) and ALP (Alkaline phosphatase), or a fluorochrome, like DyLight®, FITC or others. Example: Primary antibody: Rabbit anti-target protein Blocking serum: Normal Chicken Serum (usually used at 5% v/v in PBS with Tween®20 detergent) Secondary antibody: Chicken anti-Rabbit IgG-HRP conjugated Note: Rabbit serum cannot be used for blocking in such a combination. | Agrisera blocking serum from various species, is provided in three purity grades: non-purified, purified on Protein G and ultrapure, available as in research and bulk quantities.

The Global Plant Events Calendar is celebrating 5th anniversary
Exactly 5 years ago, in January 2019, Agrisera and Plantae decided to launch The Global Plant Events Calendar to support the plant science community with a good overview of worldwide meetings, conferences and workshops, both in person and online. The calendar served as an important resource during the pandemic, when many meetings were cancelled or converted to online events. All events submitted to the calendar are curated, to exclude meetings that do not fit the plant community, as well as so-called "predatory conferences". "The calendar is about inclusion, education and quality. We promote smaller, local meetings along with the big, popular ones," says Agrisera's Technical Support Manager, Dr. Joanna Porankiewicz-Asplund, in a recent interview conducted by ASPB. She continues; "And you can think about it like this: if you dive into the cell and look at the organelles and research about it, and then if you take that up and translate it into the tree standing in the forest and being exposed to the climate, the calendar will cover almost every event remotely related to that process. So, this is a metaphor for what this calendar is really covering. It’s all the factors of plant science, internal and external. Big and small." You are welcome to read the full story of the calendar in the interview by Rachel Belsky, ASPB Peer Review & Content Review Coordinator.On average, there are around 200 meetings listed in the calendar each year. Over the last few years, the calendar has become recognized by organizers of highly recognized meetings, such as GRC (Gordon Research Conferences) and the Global Plant Council. |
Discover the advantages of Agrisera detection reagents for ELISA
Agrisera offers detection reagents for ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay), a widely used laboratory technique, employed for detecting and quantifying the presence of specific proteins, antibodies, peptides, hormones, or other substances in a sample. It is a highly sensitive and specific immunological assay, based on the principles of antigen-antibody interactions. Visualization of antibody binding is usually performed using a secondary antibody, linked to an enzyme like Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), or Horse Radish Peroxidase (HRP). A substrate specific to the linked enzyme is then added, and visualization is achieved as described below. Colorimetric detection: If a chromogenic substrate is used, the enzyme catalyzes a reaction that produces a colored product. The intensity of the color is proportional to the amount of the target substance in the sample. The color change is quantified using a spectrophotometer. Chemiluminescent detection: If a chemiluminescent substrate is used, the enzyme catalyzes a reaction that produces light. The emitted light is measured using a luminometer. The advantages of chemiluminescent ELISA include its high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, and suitability for quantitative analysis. It is commonly used in various fields, including clinical diagnostics, research laboratories, and pharmaceutical development, where the accurate measurement of protein concentrations is crucial due to its versatility, sensitivity, and ability to handle numerous samples simultaneously. Until the end of March 2024, Agrisera offers 15% discount on all detection reagents. Use a discount code: Detect15 and order today! | Agrisera chromogenic and chemiluminescent detection reagents for ELISA offer unique sensitivity at competitive pricing, and skilled technical support to help you to set up the experiments. |

Are you using another model species than Arabidopsis thaliana and lack specific antibodies?
Plant science has a plethora of species that are used as model organism. Arabidopsis thaliana: Perhaps the most widely used model species in plant science. It has a small genome, a short life cycle, and is easy to grow in a laboratory setting. A. thaliana has provided invaluable insights into plant genetics, development, and responses to various environmental factors. Oryza sativa (rice): A staple food for a large portion of the world's population. Its relatively small genome, and genetic similarities to other grass species, make it an important model species for studying crop genetics, as well as aspects of plant development and responses to stress. Zea mays (maize): A major cereal crop. Its large size and genetic diversity have made it an important model species for studying genetics, development, and traits related to agriculture and bioenergy production. Medicago truncatula: A model species for studying legumes. Legumes are important for their ability to fix nitrogen, as well as their nutritional value. Medicago is used to understand symbiotic relationships between plants and nitrogen-fixing bacteria, called rhizobia. Physcomitrium patens: A model species for studying plant development and evolution. Mosses are simple plants that offer insights into early land plant evolution, and the transition from aquatic to terrestrial environments. Brachypodium distachyon: A model grass species that is closely related to important cereal crops, like wheat, barley, and oats. It is used to study traits related to grain crops, including growth, development, and stress responses. Nicotiana benthamiana: Often used for research in plant molecular biology, due to its relatively large leaves and the ease with which it can be transformed for genetic studies. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: A single-celled green algae, widely used as a model organism for studying photosynthesis, cell biology, and genetics. It has contributed significantly to our understanding of chloroplast function, and has been explored for biofuel production. Diatoms: A major group of algae known for their intricate silica cell walls. They are important primary producers in aquatic ecosystems and play a vital role in the global carbon cycle. Cyanobacteria (Blue-Green Algae): Often studied alongside algae, due to their similar ecological roles and photosynthetic abilities. They have been researched for their role in nitrogen fixation, harmful algal blooms, and potential use in biofertilizers and biofuels. ... and many more species!

Loading control antibodies: a way to ensure that the obtained Western blot results are accurate
Loading control antibodies are used to assess if the protein samples have been loaded equally across the gel, as well as transferred to the membrane. Such controls need to be ubiquitously and constitutively expressed proteins. Commonly used loading controls are the following proteins: actin, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and tubulin. Actin and tubulin are highly conserved proteins, which play essential roles in the plant cytoskeleton. Actin is involved in cellular processes, such as cell division, cell share maintenance and intracellular transport. | Agrisera loading control antibody collection contains:

Antibodies to Green Fluorescent Protein and its variants with reactivity to plant fusion proteins
Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) of the jellyfish Aequorea victoria, that lived on Earth for millions of years before being discovered, was first purified and characterized in 1962, by Osamu Shimomura, a Japanese organic chemist and marine biologist. GFP is excited by light in the blue/violet/ultraviolet portion of the spectrum, and emits light in the green portion (hence the name). The protein emits light by undergoing a process called photobleaching, where it absorbs light energy and then re-emits it as fluorescence. Tagging a target protein with GFP allows its visualization, and the detection of its transgenic expression in vivo, as well as its subcellular localization, cell visualization and investigation of protein-protein interactions. It can be used for cell tracing and tracking. This easily detectable fluorescence has made GFP an invaluable tool in various biological studies, enabling researchers to visualize and understand complex biological processes in real-time. Image: Rabbit polyclonal antibody to GFP, AS20 4443 used on roots of Arabidopsis thaliana. Agrisera's antibody collection to Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) and its variants (EGFP, S65T-GFP, RFP like mCherry, RS-GFP, YFP and Venus) includes both, polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies with different labels, enzymatic and fluorescent, which detect both native and denatured GFP. | How is GFP used in plant science?

Fast and easy protein extraction using Agrisera Protein Extraction Buffer (PEB)
Protein Extraction Buffer (PEB) is an extraction buffer for the disruption and solubilization of total protein from plant tissues and algal cells. The buffer contains the anionic detergent LDS, which does not form crystals while stored at 4-10°C, and is quickly ready to use. Expected yields will be 1.5-6 µg/µl total protein (recovered from standard procedure), depending on the starting material, e.g. its biological stage and homogenization method used (bead beater vs. sonication). For processing of multiple samples, simultaneous extraction using for example a bead beater is recommended, for consistency of extraction. Provided as 5 x 2 ml (4x stock), Agrisera's PEB buffer allows up to 75 isolations of plant material (using 500 μl 1x PEB for 100 mg fresh weight), or 190 isolations of algal material (using 200 μl 1x PEB for cell amounts corresponding to 4-10 μg total chlorophyll).

New species reactivity added for anti-PsbO antibodies
Anti-PsbO antibodies, product number: AS06 142-33, detect a PsbO protein in a wide range of different species. Recently, reactivity on a new species, Eucalyptus grandis, has been experimentally confirmed using the following protocol: 13.5 µg/well of total protein extracted freshly from Eucalyptus sp. leaves. Exact buffer components were: 50 mM HEPES NaOH pH 8.0, 5mM DTT, 15 mM NaHCO3, 20 mM MgCl2, 2 mM EDTA, 4% (v/v) EDTA- free protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche Diagnostics), 4% PVPP (w/v), 20% glycerol (v/v), 1:1 Tris-buffered phenol (v/v) and 100 mM CH3COONa in methanol. Extracts were denatured with SDS beta-Mercaptoethanol sample buffer for 10 min at 90°C. Samples were separated at RT on 12% SDS-PAGE and blotted for 1 h to PVDF, using wet transfer at room temperature (RT). Blot was blocked with 5% non-fat milk for 1 h at RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1 h at RT with agitation in TBS-T. The antibody solution was decanted, and the blot was rinsed briefly twice, then washed three times for 10 min with TBS-T at RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in matching secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG HRP, Agrisera AS09 602) diluted to 1: 10000 in TBS-T for 1 h at RT with agitation. The blot was washed as above and developed with a following chemiluminescent detection reagent. Exposure time was 12 min. | Samples: 1: 13.5 µg of Eucalyptus grandis whole leaf extract clone one (g1) |
How to choose the correct antibody?
With millions of antibodies offered worldwide, by hundreds of suppliers, it may be a bit overwhelming, especially for beginners, to choose the correct antibody to answer a specific questions in a research project. Here is a short checklist with what to pay attention to: Species reactivity – Has the antibody been used to detect the protein from the species we are working with? If not, a request should be sent to the supplier to confirm if the antibody may have so-called predicted reactivity to the target protein. If not, the antibody is not suitable, and false positive results can be produced. Validation data – Is validation data available on a product information sheet? For non-essential proteins, validation data should include results obtained with knockdown or knockout mutants. Western blot results showing that an antibody binds to a recombinant protein, are not relevant to the binding in a specific sample, extracted from a specific tissue or organism. Here we explain why. Recommended antibody dilution – The lower the dilution, the fewer tests can be conducted using an antibody. Here we explain why. Publication record – Being citet in scientific articles definitely confirms the performance of a given antibody. However, as there is no worldwide standard, product numbers are oftentimes not included in the "Material and Method" section. This makes it difficult to identify what antibody has been used to obtain the presented results. How to cite antibodies in scientific publication, is explained in this short video. | You are always welcome to contact us with any questions, and we will promplty help you to find the best antibody for your specific species and application. |

Agrisera reagents for successful protein detection in Western blot
Agrisera supports protein detection in your laboratory with tailored reagents with the following features:
For chemiluminescent detection of the activity of HRP (Horseradish Peroxidase enzyme), coupled to a secondary antibody, we recommend using: AgriseraECL Bright (AS16 ECL-N), for low pico to mid-femtogram detection (for proteins of medium and high expression), or the enhanced AgriseraECL SuperBright (AS16 ECL-S), for extreme low femtogram detection (for proteins of low expression). Both reagents are provided in one set and if one of ECL is not sensitive enough, or there is too much background, the membrane can be washed and developed again, as described here. For laboratories without a CCD camera, visualization of the target protein can be made using so-called chromogenic detection with Agrisera BCIP/NBT ALP Substrate (AS19 BCIP-NBT) or Agrisera BCIP/NBT Plus ALP Substrate solution (AS19 BCIP-NBT-PLUS). In this case, the secondary antibody is conjugated to an enzyme called ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase). The reaction is visualized directly on the membrane through color development, and the membrane can be stored in the lab book for a future reference. This detection system is not appropriate for proteins of low expression, or to detect protein modifications, such as phosphorylation. | |
Agrisera supported the 20th Scientific Conference of the Phycological Section of the German Botanical Society

Agrisera supported the conference with The Best Poster Prize and free copies of Agrisera's Educational Posters, focused on photosynthesis. | |
Advantages of Agrisera secondary antibodies labelled with ALP and HRP
Agrisera secondary antibodies, conjugated to HRP (Horseradish peroxidase) and ALP (Alkaline phosphatase) enzymes, are high-performance antibodies that can be used in high dilution, up to 1: 100 000. This means that 1 mg of a given antibody will allow quite a number of experiments to be conducted. The most common mistake is comparing secondary antibody pricing between various suppliers, when antibody performance is the actual key. Using secondary antibodies in high dilutions also minimizes potential background issues. Agrisera secondary antibodies are high-performing and price-worthy, delivered in an environmentally-friendly way without dry ice, which is costly to produce and transport. You are welcome to check the stock balance of any secondary antibody you need, at any time, here. For the secondary antibodies that are not in stock, the delivery time is around 5-10 business days. During the entirety of 2023, all Agrisera secondary antibodies labelled with ALP and HRP are provided with a 10% discount. Use discount code Conj10 | Agrisera antibodies perform above market average in terms of dilution. |

IncuBlocker - efficient way to shorten Western blot time
Agrisera IncuBlocker is an "all in one" set for fast Western blot processing. The whole process takes place in a single step, as blocking, as well as primary and secondary antibody binding, occur simultaneously, followed by a wash step with included buffer. Depending on the titer of the primary antibody, it can be re-used up to 5 times (not recommended for quantification work). This means that the processing time can be shortened considerably, to 1.5 hour. Add your primary antibody and use your choice of chemiluminescence or chromogenic method to visualize the reaction. The set is provided for primary antibodies developed in chicken, mouse and rabbit, and is recommended for antibodies to proteins of high and moderate expression. How to know the expression levels of your target protein? Check in the Protein Abundance Database. | The example above shows how the signal with a primary antibody can be visualized using IncuBlocker. No washes in between, as blocking and primary and secondary antibody incubationsn are done in one step. |

A given laboratory may aim to detect different proteins of varied expression levels, in the tissue being analyzed. Agrisera offers a unique pack of combined reagents, with two different sensitivities. This allows more versatile detection, of high and medium abundancy proteins (Agrisera ECLBright), as well as low abundancy proteins (AgriseraECL SuperBright). Depending on the target protein that we aim to detect, different detection reagent needs to be used, and Agrisera offers this possibility provided in the same set.
In the example above, the aim was to detect a highly abundant photosynthetic protein, PsbA. Using Agrisera anti-PsbA antibodies (AS05 084), a matching secondary antibodies of high titer, goat anti-rabbit, HRP-conjugated (AS09 602) and Agrisera ECL reagent of extreme low femtogram detection range (AgriseraECLSuperBright), resulted in prominently increased background signal. Choosing the other reagent, provided in the Agrisera ECL set, gave the possibility to optimize the result in a very swift manner. There is no need to repeat the whole procedure, as the membrane can be subjected to a wash and developed with less sensitive ECL. It is oftentimes not the primary antibody that contributes to increased background, but rather high load/well, combined with a too sensitive detection reagent.

Agrisera Western blot workshop at Wrocław University
On the 23rd of January, Agrisera conducted the workshop "Western blot – a technique possible to optimize" for researchers and students at the Department of Biological Sciences, Wrocław University, Poland. The workshop was held by Dr. Joanna Porankiewicz Asplund, Agrisera's Technical Support Manager. The meeting gathered 80 participants and was 2 hours long. During the break, the attendees could participate in a quiz, and had a chance to win two ECL reagents with different sensitivities (AS18 SecondaryECL), or a book on photosynthesis. All attendees are very welcome to contact Agrisera with any Western blot and antibody-related questions you may have in the future. Agrisera's Western blot troubleshooting guide, antibody production posters, educational posters and pens were offered to all who attended. Thank you for your particiption and valuable insights! |
Take an advantage of high performing price-worthy Agrisera secondary antibodies
Secondary antibodies conjugated to HRP (Horseradish peroxidase) and ALP (Alkaline phosphatase) enzymes are most frequently used to visualize target proteins in Western blot, ELISA and immunolocalization. When using secondary antibodies conjugated to HRP, the detection is performed using chemiluminescence (recorded by a CCD camera or another imager), which gives high sensitivity and good resolution in both Western blot and chemiluminescent ELISA. When using antibodies conjugated to ALP, visualization of the antibody binding to the target is achieved using chromogenic reagents, and no CCD camera is necessary. Agrisera's secondary antibody collection is composed of over 220 antibodies; both highly purified and available in a basic format, suitable for Western blot, as well as adsorbed to serum from a wide range of animal species, suitable for immunolocalization and ELISA. Based on the analysis of antibody performance in available publications, conducted by CiteAB, it became very clear that Agrisera secondary antibodies are performing above market average. This means that Agrisera secondary antibodies conjugated to ALP or HRP can be used at high dilutions and are price-worthy reagents, and will provide you with a consistent performance over many experiments.

Oligomer specific amyloid-beta antibodies
Discover Agrisera's unique monoclonal antibodies targeting amyloid-beta oligomers. The approach is based on a combination of high avidity and cryptic epitopes and result in a high selectivity for Abeta oligomers where oligomers are selectively detected also in the presence of stoichiometric excess of abeta monomers corresponding to more than 4 orders of magnitude.
The approach is based on a sandwich ELISA set up where the oligomer-specific antibodies are immobilized in the bottom, followed by exposure to the sample of interest. The oligomer specific antibodies will bind the oligomers with a very high binding strength, and detection of bound abeta oligomers is subsequently performed by a normal pan anti-abeta antibody. For the second step, we recommend strong binding polyclonal anti-abeta antibody or biotin labelled variants of the oligomer-specific monoclonals.
Suggested antibody pairs with excellent performance are indicated below:
Suggested sandwich ELISA pair for the detection abeta-oligomers:
ELISA setup 1
Coating OMAB, mouse monoclonal antibody (AS10 932)

Third anniversary of the plant community resource - The Global Plant Events Calendar
The Global Plant Events Calendar was initiated on January 2nd, 2019 as a mutual effort of Plantae and Agrisera, to provide the plant community with a comprehensive list of worldwide events. Over the last three years, hundreds of various events have been listed in the calendar, making it easy for plant researchers to receive a quick overview of available events. As the pandemic developed in 2020, many events were cancelled, postponed, or moved online. All these changes were regularly updated in the calendar, which became a source for information on in-person, as well as online meetings, like webinars on different topics relevant to plant biology.
Today, The Global Plant Events Calendar is the most comprehensive list of worldwide events for the plant community.
If you are not familiar with the calendar, this short video will show you how to use it. You are welcome to submit information about a meeting you are organizing!
Stay informed! Follow the calendar on Twitter @PlantSciEvents
Effective detection of mNeonGreen fusion proteins expressed in higher plants and algae
Agrisera anti-mNeonGreen polyclonal antibodies are effectively detecting mNeonGreen fusion proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana benthamiana and Chlamydomonas reinhardii in dilutions up to 1: 3000, good signal-to-noise ratio and low background. mNeonGreen (Fluorescent Protein) is a new bright monomertic yellow-green fluorescent, with low conservation level to GFP. It has an excitation maximum at 506 nm and an emission maximum at 517 nm and is therefore compatible with the most GFP filter sets. mNeonGreen is 3x brighter compare to GFP, more stable and does not bleach so fast as GFP, which makes it very suitable for confocal and super resolution microscopy, for fusion proteins with low expression levels. It can be used in bicistronic vectors, which will allow simultaneous expression of two proteins separately, from the same RNA transcript. mNeonGreen has MW of 26.6 kDa. | Check experimental details with anti-mNeonGreen polyclonal antibodies (AS21 4525) |

First Plant Actin Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody
Agrisera's Plant Actin Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody (product number AS21 4615) is the first recombinant monoclonal antibody made to plant actin. The antibody is developed in vitro using animal-free technologies, to provide end users with low batch-to-batch variation and secure a long-term supply of antibodies with the same characteristics. Actin is a highly conserved protein, and an essential component of the cell cytoskeleton. It plays an important role in cytoplasmic streaming, cell shape determination, cell division, organelle movement and extension growth. Actin is preferentially expressed in young and expanding tissues, floral organ primordia, developing seeds and emerging inflorescence. Agrisera's new actin antibody can be used as a loading control for plant tissues, and works with chemiluminescent, chromogenic and fluorescent detection. Request your free sample here. | Experimental details for this Western blot, with anti-plant actin recombinant monoclonal antibodies (AS21 4615) can be found here. |

Antibodies to Plant Cell Wall components
The Plant Cell Wall is one of the most complex structural networks in nature, and still the least understood. Beside cellulose, which is the most abundant macromolecule on Earth, typical components of the cell wall are: non-celllulosic, pectic polysaccharides, proteins, phenolic compounds and water. Agrisera offers poly- and monoclonal Antibodies to Plant Cell Wall components, which detect a wide range of glycoproteins and polysaccharides located in plant cell walls. These antibodies have been produced and characterized in the laboratories of prof. Knox from University of Leeds and prof. Hahn from University of Georgia. Recently, these antibodies are also offered in a smaller pack size of 1 ml/tube and can be combined in a set of 3 or 5 antibodies with a discounted price.

20 % off high quality blocking serum and negative controls
20 % off blocking (normal) serum and negative control Agrisera offers a wide range of high-quality blocking (normal) serum for the application as a blocking agent, or as a negative control for immunoassays. All serum is obtained from healthy animals. The following formats are available:
Serum is lipid-extracted, dialyzed against phosphate buffer, and provided as lyophilized powder without preservative in different amounts: From 1-10 mg to 1 g and bulk. For most immunoassays like IHC, ELISA or Western blot, blocking is a crucial step to perform. This procedure blocks spaces that are not occupied by immobilized proteins, which prevents non-specific binding of the antibodies used in the assay. If blocking is not performed, false signals or high background will occur. There is no universal blocking agent, therefore empirical testing is necessary to determine which agent to use for a given assay. If normal serum is used as a blocker, it is recommended to use serum derived from the same host species as the detection antibody, conjugated with the reporter enzyme like HRP (Horse radish peroxidase) or ALP (Alkaline phosphatase). Example: Primary antibody: Rabbit anti-target Blocking serum: Normal Chicken Serum (usually used at 5 % v/v in PBS with Tween®20 detergent) Secondary antibody: Chicken anti-Rabbit IgG-HRP conjugated Note: Rabbit serum cannot be used for blocking in such a combination.

New epitope tag antibody (BirA (mutated/TurboID) ) for protein interaction studies
Proximity labelling is a laboratory technique which makes it possible to label proteins (in this case by biotinylation), proximal to protein of interest. This allows studying protein interactome networks in different types of cells and organs, as well as different developmental stages. The technique is achieved by a gene fusion in a living cell, between the protein of interest and BioID (BirA). The TurboID variant is a biotin ligase, with substantially higher activity, which provides higher temporal resolution and broader application in vivo. The labelling time is just 10 minutes in RT, compared to the over 18 hours of labelling time required for BioID. Agrisera offers a new polyclonal antibody, prepared to a recombinant mutated BirA protein from E.coli, called TurboID. anti-BirA (mutated/TurboID) The proximity labelling technique is described in various publications, e.g.: Zhang et al. (2020). TurboID-Based Proximity Labeling for In Planta Identification of Protein-Protein Interaction Networks.J Vis Exp. 2020 May 17;(159).doi: 10.3791/60728. Cho et al. (2020). Proximity labeling in mammalian cells with TurboID and split-TurboID.Nat Protoc. 2020 Dec;15(12):3971-3999. doi: 10.1038/s41596-020-0399-0. Mair et al. (2019). Proximity labelling of protein complexes and cell-type-specific organellar proteomes in Arabidopsis enabled by TurboID.

Agrisera anti-TAG antibody collection is growing
Antibodies to tags can be applied in cases when there are no dedicated antibodies against a given protein. Addition of a specific tag, like for example FLAG, His, HA, makes it possible to study target protein using specific anti-tag antibody applied in techniques like: immunofluorescence, immunoprecipiation or Western blot or purification using affinity chromatography. The peptide sequence of a tag can be fused to N-terminus or C-terminus of a protein under investigation or inserted within a protein. Some tags, like FLAG can be combined with other affinity tags: His, HA or myc. Historically, FLAG is a first epitope tag and the only epitope tag which is patented. Tag sequences are very short and recognized by high affinity antibodies, produced in wide species range: goat, chicken, mouse, rabbit. Some of available anti-tag antibodies are tag position sensitive and one has to take it into account, before a purchase of anti-tag antibody.

Agrisera Loading Control Antibody Collection
Loading controls are used to normalize the levels of proteins detected using Western blotting, and will:
Proteins of high levels of constitutive expression are usually recommended as loading controls. However, the choice of the appropriate house-keeping protein depends on the experiment in question, and thus needs to be confirmed. House-keeping proteins cannot be used for normalization if there is a suspicion that the experimental conditions are affecting their expression.

Secondary antibodies, blocking and detection reagents
Agrisera offers a range of universal reagents, required in every laboratory using Western blot, ELISA or immunolocalization techniques.
Secondary antibodies
Over 2000 validated, high-quality antibodies for immunoglobulins from different species:
Anti-Bovine, Anti-Cat, Anti-Chicken, Anti-Dog, Anti-Donkey, Anti-Goat, Anti-Guinea pig, Anti-Hamster, Anti-Human, Anti-Llama, Anti-Mouse, Anti-Rabbit, Anti-Rat, Anti-Sheep.
These are offered both conjugated and unconjugated, for luminescent, fluorescent and chromogenic detection in a wide range of applications, such as ELISA, Immunolocalization studies and Western blot.
Detection reagents
Agrisera chemiluminescent detection reagents are developed using unique chemistry with low pico to mid femtogram and extreme low femto detection levels. These reagents also offer increased stability, 24 month shelf life and superior lot-to-lot consistency at a very competitive price.
Agrisera BCIP/NBT ALP Substrate is designed to localize ALP labeled probes on Western, Northern, Southern and Dot blots, while Agrisera BCIP/NBT Plus ALP Substrate is designed for immunohistochemical, in situ hybridization and blotting techniques.

What is the safest method to store antibodies?
When it comes to antibody storage the rule "one method for all antibodies" does not apply, and it is not safe to assume that -80°C is always the best storage condition. Let us explain why. Antibodies are proteins of different stability, and therefore some antibodies can lose activity when stored at -80°C or on dry ice. This is also true in regards to the shipment of antibodies. Based on our experience and published references, some proteins may be damaged by storage or shipment on dry ice: Murphy et al. (2013): Protein instability following transport or storage on dry ice.
For custom produced antibodies, we recommend testing various conditions to find the most suitable one:
• -20°C or -80°C
• +4°C with preservatives like azide (0.02%) or merthiolate
• -20°C with glycerol at a final concentration of 10% or 50% (for affinity purified antibodies)
• -20°C with BSA at final concentration of 0.05-0.5% (for affinity purified antibodies)
More information on what to consider when storing different kinds of antibodies can be found here.
A known problem is that affinity purified antibodies can precipitate when stored at 4°C. However, such antibodies may still maintain their activity towards a target protein.
For catalog antibodies, we highly recommend checking the product information sheet, which is always included with the product, and contains proper information about storage conditions. If you have further questions, you can request additional information by contacting us.
Good luck with your research!

Agrisera Prize 2019 awarded at Umeć Plant Science Centre
Jan Karlsson received the UPSC Agrisera Prize 2019 to acknowledge his ceaseless technical support for the UPSC community at UPSC (Umeå Plant Science Centre). The announcement was done during the Christmas lunch, and the motivation from one of the nominations was as follows: "He is always there for the whole institute to help to solve all kind of technical, computational, mechanical or physical strength-requiring problems. He has spent the night at work to make sure that the backup power system will not fail when there was a planned overnight power interruption. He did a tremendous amount of work with Thomas Hiltonen for the moving of Plant Physiology Department during the moving out from old labs, the reconstruction and moving into the new lab. He supervises all growth chambers, shakers and cabinets, and he is the one, who we hope to find in his office when we need a solution for a challenging technical issue. People can always ask for his advice or help, independently from which department they belong to."
This year the prize was presented by Joanna Porankiewicz-Asplund from Agrisera and by the chair of the UPSC Board, Catherine Bellini. From left to right: Joanna Porankiewicz-Asplund (Agrisera), Catherine Bellini (Chair of the UPSC board), Jan Karlsson. Photo: Anne Honsel.
Common misconceptions about antibodies
Each antibody is made to a different protein and thus recognizes different epitopes. Therefore, even if many antibodies purchased from a given company worked well for your species, this does not guarantee that the next antibody will. There needs to be a match of the sequence the antibody is binding to in the sequence of the protein which is aimed to be detected. Based on our experience, at least a 70 % match in linear sequence needs to be confirmed. Many antibodies are made to short, 10 to 15 amino acids long peptides. Overall target protein conservation between species will not be relevant in such a case if there is no match in the exact sequence used to elicit the given antibody.
Therefore, before purchasing an antibody which has not been used on a given species or application, conservation of the antigen used to elicit such antibody should be confirmed.
Send your question to: [email protected] and we will help to check sequence conservation and confirm your choice for the best outcome of your experiments.

Waste less of resources in the lab!
Can listings a product numbers of primary and secondary antibody used in your research actually minimize waste of work and resources in the future?
More than half of the antibodies currently used in research cannot be properly identified, which makes it impossible to conduct a given experiment using the same set of antibodies. Companies often offer multiple antibodies to the same target protein (e.g. tags and protein modifications) and identifying a specific antibody used in a given publication is simply impossible.
There are no worldwide standard guidelines on how antibodies should be cited in publications and journals. Besides the product number for any primary antibody used in research, the secondary antibody should also be properly cited with product number. As primary and secondary antibodies in a successful experiment create a unique pair, such result may not be reproducible with another secondary antibody. Antibodies differ in their characteristics, and lots of time and money can be saved in the future if product numbers of both primary and secondary antibodies are listed in all publications.
You can also read about this topic in Citeab blog post: "Don’t forget about citing your secondaries!"
Agrisera on 45th Annual Midwest/Southeast Photosynthesis Conference
During the recent 45th Annual Midwest/Southeast Photosynthesis Conference in Indiana, the Agrisera Best Talk Prize was awarded to Kelsey Dahlgren from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Kelsey works in Dr Jeffrey Cameron’s lab and gave an outstanding presentation entitled, "Development of a proximity-based proteomics technique using APEX2 to determine the thylakoid lumen proteome of Synechococcus sp. 7002." She is using both mass spectrometry and immunoblotting to characterize the lumenal proteome.
Our warmest congratulations Kelsey. We are waiting your free antibody choice!
Common misconceptions about antibodies
No, this is NOT the case.
Each protein-antibody pair may require slightly modified binding and detection conditions. The variations may for example be a membrane with another pore size and physical properties (nitrocellulose or PVDF) as well as different blockers, incubation times and primary antibody dilutions. Some antibodies may work better in TBS-T buffer, others with PBS-T.
These issues are disussed in Agrisera Western blot guide, which we recommend you to keep in your lab!
Get your free copy of the Agrisera Western Blot Guide here!
Why fractionate?
If no signal is detected in a total cell extract, it is worth fractionating, to obtain specific chloroplast, mitochondria or nuclei enriched fractions. This procedure will concentrate a target protein and lead to the detection of a desired band (for non-cytoplasmic proteins). This is shown in the example above - from no band in a total cell extract, to a specific band in photosystem I fraction.
This approach is especially important when working with proteins of low expression. Fractionation combined with using a specific organ, e.g. the root tip, or a leaf at a certain developmental stage, will greatly contribute to the successful identification of your protein of interest.
Examples of protocols to fractionate can be found here.
For Agrisera Western Blot Guide and video tutorials, check here.
In case of any questions, you are always welcome to contact Agrisera Technical Support.
Is antibody always to blame?
In the example above, the same antibody was used (Anti-BAK1, AS12 1858) but the proteins were extracted with two different buffers.
Minor adjustments in the buffer components resulted in the improved detection of the target protein - from NO band to a band of correct MW.
If you are interested in more tricks to optimize your western blot, you are welcome to contact us or request a copy of the Agrisera Western Blot Guide.
Simultaneous detection with two primary antibodies
Two primary antibodies incubated on the blot at the same time - save time in the lab
Thylakoid membranes (10 µg of total chlorophyll) extracted freshly from Hordeum vulgare leaves with 100 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.5), 0.3 M sorbitol, 2 mM EDTA, and 1mM MgCl2 and denatured with a Laemmli buffer at 80°C for 5 min were separated on 12% SDS-PAGE and blotted 1 h to nitrocellulose (pore size of 0.2 um), using semi-dry transfer. Blot was blocked with 4% milk for 2 h/RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1:3000 (PC and PetA, simultaneous western blot detection for both antibodies at the same time) for 1 h/RT with agitation in PBS-T. The antibody solution was decanted and the blot was rinsed briefly, then washed 3 times for 5 min in PBS-T at RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in Agrisera matching secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated) diluted to 1:25000 in for 1 h/RT with agitation. The blot was washed as above and developed for 5 min with chemiluminescent detection reagent according to manufactures recommendations. Exposure time was 30 seconds. Simultaneous western blot detection can be applied if MW of detected proteins differs in min. 20 kDa.

How to cite the antibodies used in scientific publications?
As more than half of the antibodies used in research cannot be properly identified, it is absolutely crucial to start including information in the documentation of scientific research, to allow antibody identification by researchers who want to repeat your experiments. Some journals provide a guideline for antibody citation, but unfortunately most of them do not. This vital issue is most often completely overlooked.
If there are no recommendations from the journal where you intend to publish your work, citing an antibody can be done in the following way:
Antibody name, product number, (supplier name, country)
For example: Anti-RbcL, AS03 037 (Agrisera, Sweden)
We would like to encourage you to cite antibodies in a way that will allow their future identification. This is especially important for antibodies to tag proteins.
Good luck with your research!

Plant meeting calendar is on-line!
After many years of supporting hundreds of plant conferences, workshops and congresses the idea of a reliable and global Plant Science Event calendar was born. Agrisera contacted American Society of Plant Biology and our idea seem to hit the right timing. After discussions and brain storming the calendar started to take shape and since January 2019 all plant meetings, congresses, workshops and conferences can be signed up to the Global Plant Science Events Calendar. The aim is to cover most of worldwide meetings and provide a comprehensive listing. At the moment there are over 65 meetings registered already.
The calendar offers following functionality:
- There are few ways to easy receive an overwiev on coming meetings
- Using a simple tool, plant event can be easily included into the calendar
- A mini calendar widget can be loaded to a conference/society website, to obtain a widget contact: [email protected]
- There is an option to subscribe to the calendar
- Simple search can be done using specific key words

Season's greetings from Agrisera and Operation Smile
Agrisera celebrates!
With a delicious cake from a local bakery, Agrisera staff celebrated high publication record of Agrisera antibodies, which makes us even closer to take the lead in Antibodies for Plant Science. At the moment Agrisera provides 1000 validated antibodies and kits for research on plant and algal cell biology. Our products cover antibodies with reactivity to a broad species range and so called "global antibodies", where, one antibody can be used on species including higher plants, trees, mosses, algae and cyanobacteria.
Agrisera's publication record for plants science has grown
Last report, from the UK based company CiteAB, which is the world's largerst antibody search engine, with results ranked by citations, revealed that Agrisera is in the top of companies providing antibodies for research in plant science. CiteAB team analyzed citation data from 2012 to 2017, which means 1800 citations for 850 antibodies and 36 suppliers of antibodies for plant science. The research which is supported by 60 % fewer suppliers compare to other areas and 94 % fewer antibodies. Agrisera scored as a second supplier taking 20.06 % of citation share, just behind Abcam (20.64 %). You can read a complete CiteAB post here.
We are celebrating this achivement at Agrisera as it is reflecting years of our hard and steady work, to supply plant science community with reliable selection of antibodies.

Which secondary antibodies to use when my protein was immunoprecipiated using an antibody?
If the protein you aim to detect in Western blot, following immunoprecipitation with an antibody, has a molecular weight of ~50 kDa, an anti-Rabbit light chain-specific antibody should be used.
If the protein of interest is ~25 kDa, an anti-rabbit IgG Fc specific antibody should be used, such as: Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Fc, HRP conjugated, min. cross-reactivity to bovine horse or human serum proteins.
Good luck with your research!

Rapid Western Blotting
This is a solution to save YOUR time.
Agrisera's IncuBlocker will shorten western blot protocols by several hours. The key is that blocking, primary and secondary antibody incubations are ALL done in one step!
As you see on the image above, the standard protocol can be shortened considerably. In this example, primary antibody incubation can be shortened to 30 minutes, which, combined with blocking and secondary antibody incubations all taking place during those 30 minutes, saves a considerable amount of time, not to mention cost. This kit contains blocking reagent and secondary anti-rabbit IgG antibody, HRP conjugated for chemiluminescent detection. It is suitable for work with primary antibodies of high titer, against medium and high abundancy proteins. IncuBlocer can be combined with Agrisera Enhanced ECL of high-sensitivity detection. Interested to receive a free sample? Please inquire.
Tips and tricks about immunolocalization
Thank you very much for this valuable technical seminar.
The image below is showing why pre-immune serum screening is of crucial importantce before starting custom antibody production. Serum from some animals may not be suitable at all due to increased background levels already before immunization is started.

Agrisera and Labome
Antibodies form an essential part of the immune defence against microbes and have been explored as therapeutics and diagnostics due to their ability to bind proteins and non-proteins specifically and with high affinity. In clinical and research laboratories, antibodies are an indispensible tool for detecting, quantitating, and isolating proteins and other moieties in cells, tissues, and body fluids. While antibodies used for therapeutics and clinical diagnosis are subject to stringent regulations by health authorities throughout the world, there are no standards or third-party quality controls for research antibodies.
Hundreds of biotech companies offer research antibodies, which are either polyclonal, monoclonal, or more recently, recombinant. However, the specificities of these antibody reagents do not always match scientists' expectations. An antibody might bind non-specific targets and might not be suitable for a specific application. Utilization of such an antibody often leads to false positive results. These misleading results can nullify important discoveries, discredit a research team and impede scientific progress. Academic journals have withdrawn articles presenting data based on non-specific antibodies, and poor antibody quality has been attributed as one of the causes for the irreproducibility of published discoveries.
In order to help alleviate this antibody quality and specificity problem, Labome sought to organize antibody applications cited in formal publications since 2008 and has developed Validated Antibody Database (VAD). VAD, a manually curated database, compiles commercial and non-commercial antibodies whose specificities and applications have been independently reported in published results from formal articles. In particular, VAD catalogues antibody applications validated in knockout studies. VAD version 2.2 contains 143357 entries of antibody applications from 38430 articles, covering 35146 antibody reagents from 110 high-quality suppliers. The database is updated every other month. VAD is freely accessible for online browsing at www.labome.com.

24th Western Photosynthesis Conference
From January 8 to 11, Agrisera represented by Dr. Chris Brown from Environmental Proteomics (Canada), attended the 24th Western Photosynthesis Conference (WPC) in Asilomar California. This conference draws some of the top labs in the western US, as well as several from central US and from across the Pacific in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea. This year’s WPC did not disappoint.
Agrisera entered Commercial Partnership Targeting the Agri-bio Reagents Market
Agrisera AB has entered into commercial agreement with Avacta Group plc (AIM: AVCT), the global provider of proprietary diagnostic tools, consumables and reagents for human and animal healthcare. The aim is to develop Affimer based purification systems for proteomics applications. Agrisera has been established for over thirty years and specialises in development and marketing of antibodies and related research tools globally, offering several thousand antibodies for plant and algal cell biology research.
Plant proteomics is a rapidly growing field like human proteomics in which scientists are working to understand the relationships between proteins and diseases to drive a revolution in the way issues such as food security, safety and human health are addressed. In proteomics, samples are often dominated by highly abundant proteins making it difficult to detect the rare proteins that may be the most important in a disease process. Therefore, frequently, samples need to be enriched for non-abundant proteins to facilitate proteomic analysis. This is currently done using antibodies to extract the highly abundant proteins using a bead based affinity column. Affimers are an engineered alternative to antibodies. The market opportunity, whilst difficult to quantitate accurately, is significant. Agrisera AB and Avacta Life Sciences have entered into an agreement to develop Affimer based depletion products with improved performance and economics compared to the current systems. The agreement provides for commercialisation to be carried out by Agrisera under an undisclosed revenue sharing model.
Greger Nordlund, Chief Executive Officer of Agrisera, said: "We are very pleased to enter into this collaboration with Avacta employing their promising Affimer technology. This collaboration is fully in line with Agrisera's strategy to develop and provide novel, effective tools and reagents to the research community."
Dr Alastair Smith, Avacta Group Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Agrisera is a well respected, high quality provider of research tools for plant sciences research and I am delighted that we will be working with them to develop the first Affimer based product for the agri-bio market. "This market, in general, is not as well served as the human life sciences market by the large antibody suppliers, so there is a great opportunity for Avacta to establish Affimers in a growing market where there are many gaps, as well as pushing forward with our plans to address the human life sciences market."
Agrisera collaborates with KNOW center in Poland
Agrisera continues a very fruitful collaboration with the Faculty of Biology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland. The Faculty recently obtained a status of a KNOW center – Leading National Research Centre, together with the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences in Poznan. This status, assigned through competition, can only be given to institutions carrying out scientific research at the highest level and providing PhD studies of the highest quality. Both units are well known for their studies on RNA structure, function, and metabolism. Poznan RNA Research Centre will get additional money to support various aspects of RNA research: from basic research on RNA metabolism in bacteria, plants and human, through more applied studies on RNA viruses and the role of RNA in cancer and inherited diseases and their therapies, up to the development of bioinformatics tools allowing advanced structure-function studies. Many new antibodies for proteins involved in RNA metabolism will be produced in a near future. To learn more about the Poznan RNA research Centre visit their KNOW center Poznan.

Swedish growth in life science
CiteAb has performed an analysis of PubMed publication record from last five years and concluded that Swedish research output referencing antibody use has moved Sweden to position 6 in the world. This indicates extremely fast growth in life science research which is using antibodies. With a population of only 9.6 mln, Sweden is a home for many world known research centers, to name a few: Karolinska Institute, Lund University, Umeå Plant Science Center, Uppsala University. A great effort to create antibodies to all proteins of human proteome was also inititiated and conducted in Sweden and as a result The Human Protein Atlas is available for research community. Agrisera was one of the companies which produced antibodies for the purpose of this project. Whole blog post from CiteAb about Swedish life science growth can be found here. |

Look out for special invitations, promotions and other activities to come.
Is there a reason to include antibody product number in a scientific paper?
Agrisera can have more than 2 antibodies to the same protein (in some cases up to 8!) and distinguishing which antibody has been used in a specific work might be quite difficult without a product code. Also, some protein names might be differently used in scientific papers compare to what is listed on a company website. Therefore please do use our product codes when you are citing Agrisera antibodies in your scienfitic papers!
Free shipping & same day antibody delivery to our valued customers in Umeć!
The following free samples of Agrisera secondary antibodies are available for testing:
Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H&L), HRP conjugated AS09 602

All from your local supplier.
Multispecies reactivity of Agrisera antibodies
Therefore, our product information sheets are including information about confirmed (based on experimental data) and predicted reactivity (based on sequence conservation). In cases when you are not certain or your species is not listed on our product information sheet - please contact us providing a protein sequence you aim to detect in your assay and information in what assay you are planning to use our antibody. Some antibodies will not work in techniques which require binding to a native and exposed part of a protein.
Following those links, you can find out which of Agrisera antibodies are reacting with chosen model species: Arabidopsis thaliana | Chlamydomonas reinhardii | cyanobacteria | Conifers | diatoms | Glycine max | Hordeum vulgare | Medicago truncatula | Nicotiana tabacum | Oryza sativa | Phaseolus vulgaris | Physcomitrella patens | Pisum sativum | Populus sp. | Solanum lycopersicum | Solanum tuberosum | Spinacia oleracea | Triticum sp. | Zea mays | Vitis vinifera | Search an antibody by species reactivity here.
Agrisera's reference record is growing
The PSL Alliance is a new network for SMEs supplying reagents for research use only. The aim of the Alliance is to help promote manufacturers of high quality products.
How to know that a commercial antibody is going to work on a protein from my species?
Commercial antibodies are developed to various antigens (more information about procedures can be found in Agrisera Antibody Production Guide), often being recombinant proteins of full length, truncated or 7-20 amino acid long peptides. Development of antibodies against specific peptides is a common approach for cases where a specific isoform of a protein family is to be targeted. Therefore, such an antibody will often be rather isoform and species-specific. Based on antigen sequence, it is possible to predict if the antibody in question has the potential to work on a protein from species not listed on the product information sheet. Agrisera product information sheets list both confirmed reactivity (based on experimental results), and predicted reactivity (resulting from sequence alignment of the peptide sequence used to elicit given antibody). If information regarding a specific sequence used to elicit given antibody is not available - please contact us with your question, and provide us with the protein sequence you are aiming to detect. Even if there is some conservation level found in protein alignment, it is crucial to know if the sequence of the antigen used to elicit a given antibody is conserved in your protein sequence, and to what extent. This will save you money and time in the future. You are welcome to contact us with your question! |

Is a standarized reporting of research antibody use - a way to increase experimental reproducibility?
"Reporting research antibody use: how to increase experimental reproducibility", reporting format for experiments conducted with antibodies should include many important details like: antibody name, catalog number, as well as a batch number, company/academic that supplied the antibody, the host species in which antibody was raised, and its clonality (yes, monoclonal antibody are no longer only rised in mice but also in other species like rabbit or chicken). At present, product number and company name are the absolute minimum required to identify an antibody, but this is, however, still often omitted. Companies, including Agrisera, carry multiple antibodies to the same protein, and finding an antibody matching the work might thus be quite an effort. Furthermore, there is actually a batch-to-batch variation in the antibody world, which might undermine efforts to repeat certain results. In a blog post from CiteAb, you can find useful suggestions on how to cite the antibodies used in your publications.
Over the years, Agrisera antibodies were cited in thousands of publications, and we are working hard to match them with our specific products. A list of chosen scientific references with Agrisera antibodies can be found here.

Agrisera to work with new antibody search engine
Agrisera to work with new antibody search engine
Agrisera is working with a new antibody search engine called CiteAb to ensure antibodies are easy to find and that researchers can quickly see where they have been cited in the past.
CiteAb lists over 800,000 antibodies from 50 companies, along with the publications that cite them. CiteAb is the largest independent citation-ranked antibody search engine, and is regularly updated with new antibodies and citations.
The search engine has been developed by a team based in Bath in the UK, and has been both supported and rigorously tested by the University of Bath.
Dr Andrew Chalmers is behind CiteAb. He said: “Citations are the best guide to whether an antibody is likely to work in your laboratory, they are independent and easily verifiable. We’re aiming to make CiteAb as comprehensive as possible and are delighted to be able to include Agrisera antibodies.”
Agrisera provides CiteAb with data for all of its primary antibodies. CiteAb is asking users of our antibodies to submit their publications to the site - increasing the profile of your work and helping others to find the right antibody.

Agrisera protein extraction buffer and antibodies used to validate high throughput protein extraction from tough marine phytoplankton
Agrisera protein extraction buffer PEB and global antibodies (anti-PsbA and anti-RbcL) were used to validate high throughput protein extraction from tough, recalcitrant marine phytoplankton.
Standard microprobe sonication/flash freeze protocol has been compared with Precellys® (Bertin Technologies) bead-based system to extract total proteins from multiple samples in parallel.
Comparison of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (RbcL) immunodetection from phytoplankton, after protein extraction through sonication or Precellys bead beating. RbcL was detected by immunoblotting using a chicken anti-RbcL primary antibody (AS01 017) and a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-chicken secondary antibody (AS09 603). MW, molecular weight protein ladder (in kDa).
The total yield of proteins extracted from each species was similar using the sonication/flash freeze protocol or Precellys® bead beating system. Using Precellys® system, sample throughput and reproducibility are higher than with the sonication/flash freeze protocol.

Agrisera engaged in Physcomitrella proteomics
Agrisera engaged in Physcomitrella proteomicsAgrisera, a world-leading SME in plant-specific antibodies, is closely collaborating with Professor Ralf Reski, a world-leading expert in moss systems biology, to develop and to test moss-specific antibodies for quantitative proteomics. These antibodies are going to be used in the framework of the Freiburg Initiative for Systems Biology (FRISYS) for quantitative proteomics of Physcomitrella and will be sold by Agrisera. Intensive work on the project is currently conducted in Reski's Plant Biotechnology group at the University of Freiburg (Germany). First results are going to be made public in January 2010. The moss Physcomitrella has been developed by a fast growing scientific community as a model plant with implications for basal as well as applied research. The latter includes identification of genes for crop improvement and the production of complex biopharmaceuticals in the moss bioreactor.
