How the business practices of your antibody vendor could impact your ligand-binding assay

Role of antibodies in ligand-binding assay development Antibodies are among the critical raw materials from which ligand-binding assays (LBAs) are built. Although some LBAs are built from antibodies raised specifically for the project at hand, a number of assays are built using commercially sourced antibodies. The information derived from immunoassays developed using commercially sourced antibodies may be used for critical decisionmaking basic research, academics, clinical research, and drug safety studies.
