Introduction to Antibodies
Antibodies are specialized proteins generated by the immune system in response to disease and infection. The staining generated by antibodies and IHC is usually the stepping-stone required in developing data to support the next stages of innovative research.
In this webinar, in her role as Senior Scientist, Antibody Research & Development at Leica Biosystems, Denise Woolley discusses the different types of antibodies, the importance of their structures, and how they are classified. Denise further dives into the manufacturing of antibodies and their significance to research utilization.
