	ABR-Affinity BioReagents Polyclonal Antibody User: Gregoy Bedecarrats, PhD "I work with GnRH receptors and am often frustrated by the lack of reliable antibodies for in vitro analyses. Thus, I decided to develop my own serum raised against chicken GnRH receptor-2 using the BioPerformancePlus Plan from ABR-Affinity BioReagents. The procedure was initiated rapidly following 3 easy steps: send ABR-Affinity BioReagents the protein sequence; decide which recommended peptide to use; and place the order. Since the immunoglobulins were affinity purified, the specificity and sensitivity of the antibodies was fairly high for a polyclonal. I now routinely use this serum for western blot and immunocytochemistry analyses, and am looking forward to generating additional antibodies. My experience with ABR-Affinity BioReagents was great and can be summarized in 4 words: easy, efficient, reliable and courteous." Gregoy Bedecarrats, PhD Assistant Professor University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada

	ABR-Affinity BioReagents Monoclonal Antibody User: Parveen Sharma "We have a great deal of experience with antibodies from ABR-Affinity BioReagents, in particular antibodies to the Ryanodine Receptor (MA3-925) and SERCA 2 (MA3-919). We have found their antibodies to be clean, reliable and able to provide reproducible results by western blots and ELISA. Their service is impeccable and all their antibodies are delivered promptly. I would not hesitate to recommend ABR-Affinity BioReagents antibodies to all scientific researchers." Parveen Sharma Senior Post-Doctoral Research Associate University of Toronto

	ABR-Affinity BioReagents Custom Antibody User: Randy Bogan, Ph.D. "The custom antibody production service offered by ABR-Affinity BioReagents, from antigen selection and peptide synthesis to immunization, was the lowest priced of companies I compared, even better than our in-house core facilities. The anti-serum I received had a high titer and performed very well in Western blot and ELISA applications. ABR-Affinity BioReagents was also willing to accommodate my specific needs as they sold me one of their catalog antibodies in a unique buffer formulation that I requested. The products and services I have used from ABR-Affinity BioReagents have exceeded my expectations." Randy Bogan, Ph.D. Colorado State University

	ABR-Affinity BioReagents Antibody User: Tung Chan "Our experience with ABR-Affinity BioReagents began when we were looking for antibodies to detect endogenous adenosine A1 receptor in mice. After screening antibodies from several companies, we found that a ABR-Affinity BioReagents antibody worked best and ABR-Affinity BioReagents tech support was very helpful in optimizing our applications. Later, when we needed a custom antibody, we contacted ABR-Affinity BioReagents. Their experts guided us through both the antibody design process and the financial arrangements. More importantly, when we screened the new antibodies produced at ABR-Affinity BioReagents, they performed better than our commercially purchased antibodies. Due to this success, we are currently collaborating again to produce another antibody." Tung Chan Assistant Professor Thomas Jefferson University

	ABR-Affinity BioReagents Monoclonal Antibody User: Jaehyung (Gus) Cho "I have been using [monoclonal antibody, clone] RL90 from ABR-Affinity BioReagents since early 2006. This antibody works extremely well for detection of human protein disulfide isomerase and blocks its function well. When I purify pure IgG2a (RL90) from the mouse ascites by protein A/G affinity chromatography, the amount that I obtain is always same, indicating that the quality is well controlled. ABR-Affinity BioReagents's pricing is very reasonable in comparison to that of other companies. I highly recommend ABR-Affinity BioReagents products to my colleagues." Jaehyung (Gus) Cho Postdoctoral Fellow Harvard Medical School

	ABR-Affinity BioReagents Custom Antibody User: Nicole Donofrio "We have embarked on a project studying heat shock genes in plant pathogens. The next step is to analyze Hsp90 protein levels in our fungus and we're working with ABR-Affinity BioReagents to make this happen. It seems likely that we will have to develop our own, specific antibody, in which case we will use their Antibody on Demand service. ABR-Affinity BioReagents's lab staff has been very helpful so far, offering lots of assistance and timely follow up. We look forward to the successful completion of our project with ABR-Affinity BioReagents! " Nicole Donofrio Assistant Professor University of Delaware

	ABR-Affinity BioReagents Custom Antibody User: Alix Darden "ABR-Affinity BioReagents has been a wonderful company to work with. I needed antibodies made which would bind to one of four opsin proteins with no cross reactivity to the other three. I chose to go with the ABR-Affinity BioReagents Antibody on Demand service. I provided ABR-Affinity BioReagents with the GenBank accession numbers for the four opsins telling them which ones I wanted to generate antibodies against and their experienced staff took care of everything else. I always received prompt responses to questions and was kept well informed on all aspects of the project. I was provided with an immunization schedule and was delivered antibodies when promised. I would definitely use ABR-Affinity BioReagents again and highly recommend their services." Alix Darden Associate Professor The Citadel

	ABR-Affinity BioReagents Antibody User: Paulo Ferreira "We have had a strong working and highly productive relationship with ABR-Affinity BioReagents for quite some time. Their broad spectrum immunological reagents are very reliable and of outstanding quality. Their overall service is unmatched in the industry." Paulo Ferreira Associate Professor Duke University

	ABR-Affinity BioReagents Polyclonal Antibody User: Igor Gurevich "The experienced staff at ABR-Affinity BioReagents was very helpful in guiding us through the process of developing a polyclonal antibody against our protein of interest. They were in regular communication with us about the status of the project from antigen selection to final production, and were always quick to offer assistance. With the resulting antibody we are now able to detect our protein of interest on Western blots in transfected cells, and more importantly the endogenous levels of the protein in several cell lines. Having this antibody will prove invaluable not only in my future research, but in most aspects of research done in our lab." Igor Gurevich Graduate Assistant University of Connecticut

	ABR-Affinity BioReagents Custom Antibody User: Richard A. Kahn "We have used several different companies to generate custom polyclonal antibodies, but now our first choice for all our anti-peptide antibody projects is ABR-Affinity BioReagents. The different service levels available provide a variety of price options. ABR-Affinity BioReagents's excellent customer care and product performance has led us to recommend the Antibody on Demand service to many of our colleagues." Richard A. Kahn Professor Emory University

	ABR-Affinity BioReagents Antibody User: Jean M. Lauder "I am very pleased with the products supplied by ABR-Affinity BioReagents, especially the high quality of their antibodies and control peptides. ABR-Affinity BioReagents also offers excellent technical support, which makes doing experiments with these reagents a pleasure." Jean M. Lauder Professor University North Carolina School of Medicine
