Delineating cell lineage in the collecting duct of mouse kidney

Differentiating principal cell from intercalated cell Expand The collecting duct in the kidney consists in three types of cells, principal cells, alpha-intercalated cells and beta-intercalated cells. The principal cells are primarily responsible for salt and water transport while alpha- and beta-intercalated cells are responsible for acid-base transport. Figure legend Anti-Aqp2 antibody labels the luminal membrane […]

Fluorescent FFPE of mouse embryo section

The skin Expand The skin, or integument, consists of two major layers: the epidermis, composed of stratified squamous epithelium that is keratinized, and the dermis, composed of connective tissue. Figure legend E-cadherin proteins label the epithelial cell junctions in the epidermis of the skin from a mouse embryo at E12.5 on FFPE section. The kidney […]

Dual-color fluorescent IHC on FFPE section

Low-magnification fluorescent imaging Expand FFPE sections were obtained from formalin (10% neutral formaldehyde) fixed mouse kidney tissues. Antigens on FFPE sections were retrieved by citrate solution at pH 6.0. Two BiCell Scientific antibodies, raised in rat and rabbit respectively, were incubated with FFPE sections to detect two independent antigen proteins. Figure legend Fluorescent IHC on […]

"I am really impressed with your approach. We tried multiple times previously to create monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to claudin-2 and MLCK1. We have had limited success generating polyclonals and no success generating monoclonals. You have generated outstanding monoclonals to both. I look forward to continuing to work with you."

"The polyclonal antibody you generated for KIAA0408 is stunning! KIAA0408 is a novel cilium molecule that has never been studied. So, clearly there will be a lot of demand for it as we have discovered a very interesting finding and the story will be published in a high impact journal. I am strongly inclined to generate monoclonal antibody for this protein too and we should think about patenting it."

"Your ARL13B antibody works beautifully!!! We’re so happy to have a cilia-specific antibody made in rat! I can send you high resolution images to be posted on your website."

"The assay is a homophilic interaction mediated cell adhesion on purified protein (in this case, immobilized purified Pcdhga9 to Pcdhga9 expressed on cell surface). Compared to control, cell adhesion is reduced in the presence of Pcdhga9 monoclonal antibody supernatants!"

"The rabbit hybridoma supernatants of anti-APOBEC3 project are tested positive by ELISA, and we are very happy about it! We previously tried a company, Abclone. Their Project "A" has immune response that is <10,000 titer in antiserum, which would explain why there is no positive mAb after fusion. Their project "B" didn't have any immune response in rabbit."

"We have tested anti mouse T cell antiserum samples from both rabbits you sent to us.

They worked very well! Thank you!"
