You can now connect to a full range of laboratory services available that includes infectious dose determination, viral protein purification and custom antibody production. In mammals there are five types of antibody IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM, with 4 IgG and 2 IgA subtypes present in humans where Ig stands for immunoglobulin. An antibody or immunoglobulin is a large Y shaped protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects like bacteria and viruses. Antibodies are generally quite specific, but it is not unusual to see cross reactivity depending on your antibody and it's source. Information on antibody protocols, custom antibody suppliers, antibody microarrays, and more. An antibody is any of a large variety of immunoglobulins normally present in the body. Each antibody recognizes a specific antigen unique to its target. Link to resource guides to antibody research and suppliers.
