Indeed. And I think it is also important to acknowledge when tools are great.

The antibodies don’t work! The race to rid labs of molecules that ruin experiments

Poorly performing antibodies have plagued biomedical sciences for decades. Several fresh initiatives hope to change this.

Yes the website is super new and will be updated every month with new antibodies.

Sorry to hear that OGA website does not work at Memorial Sloan Kettering.
Maybe try this ycharos.com
All data are available here too, but it is more tedious as you would need to download a report for each protein.

We've also switched from mostly transgenic mouse strains to AAV/retrovirus "transgenes". It cut mouse costs by >50%, and makes our work faster and more responsive to reviewer requests. AAVs can even be used to produce depleting antibodies.

Durable lymphocyte subset elimination upon a single dose of AAV-delivered depletion antibody dissects immune control of chronic viral infection
To interrogate the role of specific immune cells in infection, cancer, and autoimmunity, immunologists commonly use monoclonal depletion antibodies (d…
