Antibody Search Tips
  1. To find immuno-labeling described in older publications, or in mutant fish, try a Gene Expression Search with Assay set to immunohistochemistry (IHC) or Western blot (WB).
  2. Need an antibody to label a favorite cellular substructure? Try Site Search (in the upper right corner of every ZFIN page). Antibody search does not yet have an entry field for cellular components (growth cone, plasma membrane, etc.). This feature will be part of a future release. For now, you can often find what you need using Site Search. Enter a desired cellular component in Site Search, then look in the Antibodies section of the Site Search results page. For more information on Cellular Components, check out AmiGO
  3. We are very interested in peoples' experiences with antibodies! If you try out an antibody and find that it works on zebrafish, let us know. We can share this information with the community and everyone will benefit. Thanks!
