Primary Antibodies, Secondary Antibodies, and Isotype Controls

An antibody is a Y shaped protein that is secreted by B cells in the immune system and recognizes a specific protein or molecule. Due to the highly specific nature of antibodies, they can be used as powerful tools for research to detect targets of interest. Over the years a variety of techniques and applications have been developed using antibodies. These include Immunoassays, Flow CytometryImmunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Western blotting, and more.

R&D Systems offers a wide range of antibodies to cytokines, adhesion molecules, proteases, neurotrophic factors, stem cell factors, signal transduction molecules, and developmental proteins. Monoclonal and polyclonal primary antibodies are available conjugated to fluorescent or enzymatic labels or unconjugated. With over 26,000 antibody products validated in 25+ species and 15+ applications, our antibodies fit into all workflows. Complete your experimental design with secondary antibodies and isotype control antibodies.

Flow Cytometry Training Webinars

In this series of webinars, we will provide investigators with the necessary tools to design, run, and analyze a multi-parameter flow cytometric experiment. Flow cytometry is a powerful technique that allows researchers to examine multiple proteins on cell populations using fluorescently labeled antibodies. In order to maximize the quality of results obtained, researchers should become familiar with the basics when setting up an experiment.
