Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing the problem with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.
One factor contributing to the crisis is the use of antibodies that are not suitable. This can lead to misleading results and the use of incorrect data informing project assumptions and direction. To help address this challenge, we have introduced an application and species grid on our primary antibody datasheets to make it easy to simplify identification of the right antibody for your needs.

Unpurified ab92312 staining MLH1 in human colorectal (top) and gastric tissue (bottom) by immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections).
Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed via the pressure cooker method before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab92312).

Performed under reducing conditions.
Predicted band size: 84 kDa
Observed band size: 85 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab92312).
Lanes 1-4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab92312 observed at 90 kDa. Red - loading control ab8245 observed at 37 kDa.
ab92312 Anti-MLH1 antibody [EPR3894] was shown to specifically react with MLH1 in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab267223 (knockout cell lysate ab257172) was used. Wild-type and MLH1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab92312 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 10000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of SW480 (Human colorectal adenocarcinoma epithelial cell) cells labeling MLH1 with purified ab92312 at 1:500 dilution (1.6 µg/ml). Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% tritonX-100. Cells were counterstained with ab195889 anti-alpha tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor®594) 1:200 (2.5 µg/ml). Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor®488, ab150077) was used as the secondary antibody at 1:1000 (2 µg/ml) dilution. DAPI nuclear counterstain. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab92312).

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with unpurified ab92312 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab92312, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (1µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.
