Role: The ANTIBODY class catalogs the antibody probes known to the zebrafish community.
Sample Query Scenario: I have a particular structure (e.g. the presumptive ear) that I’d like to label in some mutant embryos I have. I access the database and query for labeling reagents, using the structure I want labeled as a search parameter.
How/Who enters: Initially, the DB Admin enters all known antibodies. Authorized submitters are allowed to create and enter new ANTIBODY records into the database.
Security: Only authorized submitters are permitted to enter new ANTIBODYs. Changes to fields other than comments, related_pubs, and source are not permitted; requests for such updates must go through the DB Admin.

| DATA_ITEM | comments, primary_pub, related_pubs | |
| LABELS | name, structures_labeled |
type (closed set: polyclonal, monoclonal: IgG, IgM)
immunogen (TEXT, OPTIONAL)
gene_product (TEXT, OPTIONAL). Describes the protein (gene_product) recognized by the antibody stain. The given name must match an existing GENE name; this is enforced by the database.
