Are there any other search engines for finding specific antibodies, other than Abcam?

Biocompare is very good (allows for comparative pricing of antibodies from many suppliers).

Exact Antigen has a nice search machine:

i've used biocompare alot, you can always just go to the websites for specific vendors also.

Linscott's Directory is very good.

IHC Mall - Search and find antibodies alphabetically or by research areas.

As for the primary antibody resorces,I think the best or maybe the only way is through literatures.As for the primary antibody utilization,except it has been widely characterized by previous authors,it must be viriously characterized by yourself before jumping into your targeted experiment.I want to stress here that the commercially available primary antibodies are not assured they are specific whether they are monoclonic or multipclonic.It is wise to warn those who take it for granted of the specificity of commercially sold primary specificity especially when dealing with a new antigen.For example,there are commercially available primary antigodies for the T type calcium channels from sant cruze,but the cross specifity has been questioned by one author and by personal communication with some one in this field,they thought they are bad in use.So these guys tured into home made their own primary antibodies instead of buying from santa cruz.This is just an case in point and the main information I want to convey is that the most important stuffs about your concerned primary antibodies are their previous usage record not just which company sells them or which one is relatively cheap.In short ,for a primary antibody ,the first and formost issue is whether it has been "recognised" or not by your peers.

With respect for the antibody related techniques such as immunohistochemistry and western blotting,I think the book titled Using Antibodies : A Laboratory Manual from the cold spring press is a very good one and aslo in my opinion it is a must for those dealing with antibodies.

Good luck and hope you find your approriate antibodies.

Antibody Search Engine

http://www.antibodybeyond.com/abfinder/absearchengine.htm

I think there is a new one at www.bionity.com
or at www.antikoerper-online.com

I think the best and Most comprehensive search engine is Antibodydirectory (www.antibodydirectory.com)
