Ps20 antibodies: Mouse monoclonal 1G7 was generated as previously described [6] (link). C-terminal and N-terminal polyclonal abs specific to ps20 were generated by Eurogentech (Southampton, UK) by inoculation of rabbits with peptides AEEAGAPGGPRQPRA and KNVAEPGRGQQKHFQ respectively (Supplementary Fig. 1). Purification was by affinity chromatography to the immunising peptide. Where these antibodies are used in western blotting (WB) they are labelled C-term and N-term respectively.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
