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.

Dot blot analysis of N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) labeled with ab252215 at 1/200 dilution.
Lane 1: HeLa total RNA
Lane 2: ac4C RNA oligo
Lane 3: C RNA oligoGoat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) Peroxidase conjugated (ab97051) at 1/20,000 dilution was used as secondary antibody.
Ac4C and C oligos (without biotin labelled) used in the figure are from collaborator. We also tested biotin-C oligo and it showed negative (Lane3).

Dot blot analysis of N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) labeled with either ab252215 at 1/1000 dilution or with methylene blue.
Lane 1: Total RNA purified from wild-type HeLa cells.
Lane 2: Total RNA purified from NAT10 knockout HeLa cellsGoat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) at 1/100000 dilution was used as secondary antibody.
Blocking and dilution buffer: 5% NFDM/TBST.
Exposure times: Left panel, 2 minutes. Right panel, 30 seconds.
Knock out of NAT10 (human acetyltransferase) can dramatically reduce ac4C level.
