Warmest congratulations to phd candidate Artem Iakunkov, from the Department of Physics, Umeå University, Sweden, who has received The Best Poster Prize funded by Agrisera, and awarded during KBC Days 2019. The poster title was: "Strong effect of ageing on swelling properties of graphene oxide membranes in alcohols".
The awardee has also received a jar of honey made by KBC bees.
KBC Days is a yearly event of Chemistry and Biology House at Umeå University. The programme this year included inspiring presentations by new faculty members and award recipients, and 11 poster presentations from midterm PhD students. Guided tours to present the infrastructures/platforms were also offered.
Thank you for this fruitful and interesting event!
Can listing a product number of primary and secondary antibody used in your research actually minimize waste of work and resources in the future?
More than half of antibodies currently used in research cannot be properly identified, which makes it impossible to conduct given experiment using the same set of antibodies. Companies often offer multiple antibodies to the same target protein (tag, protein modification) and identification which specific antibody has been used in a given publication is simply impossible.
There are no worldwide standard guidelines on how antibodies should be cited in publications and journals. Beside of a product number for any primary antibody used in research, also a secondary antibody should be properly cited with a product number. As primary and secondary antibodies in a successful experiment create a unique pair, such result may not be reproducible with another secondary antibody. Antibodies differ in their characteristics, and lots of time and money can be saved in the future if product numbers of both primary and secondary antibodies are listed in all publications.
You can also read about this topic in Citeab blog post: "Don’t forget about citing your secondaries!"
During recent 45th Annual Midwest/Southeast Photosynthesis Conference in Indiana, Agrisera Best Talk Prize was awarded to Kelsey Dahlgren from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Kelsey works in Dr Jeffrey Cameron’s lab and gave an outstanding presentation entitled, “Development of a proximity-based proteomics technique using APEX2 to determine the thylakoid lumen proteome of Synechococcus sp. 7002.” She is using both mass spectrometry and immunoblotting to characterize the lumenal proteome.
Warmest congratulations Kelsey and awaiting your free antibody choice!
Each protein-antibody pair may require slightly modified binding and detection conditions like:
membrane with another pore size and physical properties (nitrocellulose or PVDF), blocker, incubation times and primary antibody dilution. Some antibodies may work better in TBS-T buffer, others with PBS-T.
These issues are disussed in Agrisera Western blot guide, which we recommend you to have in the lab!
Western Blot Guide |
If no signal is detected in a total cell extract, it is worth to fractionate, to obtain specific chloroplast, mitochondria or nuclei enriched fraction. This procedure will allow to concentrate a target protein and lead to a detection of desired band (for non-cytoplasmic proteins), as shown in the example above - from no band in a total cell extract, to a specific band in photosystem I fraction.
This approach is especially important when working with proteins of low expression. Fractionation combined with usage of a specific organ, for example root tip, leaf at a certain developmental stage, will greatly contribute to a success with identification of a protein of interest.
Examples of protocols to fractionate can be found here.
For Agrisera Western Blot Guide and video tutorials, check here.
In case of any questions, you are always welcome to contact Agrisera Technical Support.
In this case, the same antibody was used (Anti-BAK1, AS12 1858) but proteins were extracted with two different buffers.
Minor adjustments in the buffer components resulted in the improved detection of a target protein - from NO band to a band of correct MW.
If you are interested in more trick to optimize your western blot, you are welcome to contact us or request Agrisera Western Blot Guide
Two primary antibodies incubated on the blot at the same time - save time in the lab
Thylakoid membranes (10 µg of total chlorophyll) extracted freshly from Hordeum vulgare leaves with 100 mM HEPES-KOH (pH 7.5), 0.3 M sorbitol, 2 mM EDTA, and 1mM MgCl2 and denatured with a Laemmli buffer at 80°C for 5 min were separated on 12% SDS-PAGE and blotted 1 h to nitrocellulose (pore size of 0.2 um), using semi-dry transfer. Blot was blocked with 4% milk for 2 h/RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in the primary antibody at a dilution of 1:3000 (PC and PetA, simultaneous western blot detection for both antibodies at the same time) for 1 h/RT with agitation in PBS-T. The antibody solution was decanted and the blot was rinsed briefly, then washed 3 times for 5 min in PBS-T at RT with agitation. Blot was incubated in Agrisera matching secondary antibody (anti-rabbit IgG horse radish peroxidase conjugated) diluted to 1:25000 in for 1 h/RT with agitation. The blot was washed as above and developed for 5 min with chemiluminescent detection reagent according to manufactures recommendations. Exposure time was 30 seconds. Simultaneous western blot detection can be applied if MW of detected proteins differs in min. 20 kDa.

As more than half of the antibodies used in research cannot be properly identified, it is absolutely crucial to include information, which will allow antibody identification by researchers who want to repeat your experiments. Some journals provide a guideline for antibody citation, unfortunately most of them does not. This vital issue is most often completely overlooked.
If there are no recommendations from a journal, where you intend to publish your work, citing an antibody can be done in the following way:
Antibody name, product number, supplier name, country
For example: Anti-RbcL, AS03 037 (Agrisera, Sweden)
We would like to encourage you to cite antibodies in a way, which will allow their future identification. Especially in case of antibodies to tag proteins, it is really of a crucial importance.
Good luck with your research!

After many years of supporting hundreds of plant conferences, workshops and congresses the idea of a reliable and global Plant Science Event calendar was born. Agrisera contacted American Society of Plant Biology and our idea seem to hit the right timing. After discussions and brain storming the calendar started to take shape and since January 2019 all plant meetings, congresses, workshops and conferences can be signed up to the Global Plant Science Events Calendar. The aim is to cover most of worldwide meetings and provide a comprehensive listing. At the moment there are over 65 meetings registered already.
The calendar offers following functionality:
- There are few ways to easy receive an overwiev on coming meetings
- Using a simple tool, plant event can be easily included into the calendar
- A mini calendar widget can be loaded to a conference/society website, to obtain a widget contact: community@plantae.org
- There is an option to subscribe to the calendar
- Simple search can be done using specific key words

With a delicious cake from a local bakery, Agrisera staff celebrated high publication record of Agrisera antibodies, which makes us even closer to take the lead in Antibodies for Plant Science. At the moment Agrisera provides 1000 validated antibodies and kits for research on plant and algal cell biology. Our products cover antibodies with reactivity to a broad species range and so called "global antibodies", where, one antibody can be used on species including higher plants, trees, mosses, algae and cyanobacteria.
Last report, from the UK based company CiteAB, which is the world's largerst antibody search engine, with results ranked by citations, revealed that Agrisera is in the top of companies providing antibodies for research in plant science. CiteAB team analyzed citation data from 2012 to 2017, which means 1800 citations for 850 antibodies and 36 suppliers of antibodies for plant science. The research which is supported by 60 % fewer suppliers compare to other areas and 94 % fewer antibodies. Agrisera scored as a second supplier taking 20.06 % of citation share, just behind Abcam (20.64 %). You can read a complete CiteAB post here.
We are celebrating this achivement at Agrisera as it is reflecting years of our hard and steady work, to supply plant science community with reliable selection of antibodies.

This is a solution to save YOUR time.
Agrisera's IncuBlocker will shorten western blot protocol by several hours. The key is that blocking, primary and secondary antibody incubations are ALL done in one step!
As you see on the image above standard protocol can be shortened considerably. In this example, primary antibody incubation can be shortened to 30 minutes time, which combined with blocking and secondary antibody incubations all taking place during those 30 minutes, gives a considerable time saving. Not to mention the cost. This kit contains blocking reagent and secondary anti-rabbit IgG antibody, HRP conjugated for chemiluminescent detection. It is suitable for work with primary antibodies of high titer, against medium and high abundancy proteins. IncuBlocer can be combined with Agrisera Enhanced ECL of high sensitivity detection. Interested to receive a free sample? Please inquire.
Thank you very much for this valuable technical seminar.
The image below is showing why pre-immune serum screening is of crucial importantce before starting custom antibody production. Serum from some animals may not be suitable at all due to increased background levels already before immunization is started.

Antibodies form an essential part of the immune defence against microbes and have been explored as therapeutics and diagnostics due to their ability to bind proteins and non-proteins specifically and with high affinity. In clinical and research laboratories, antibodies are an indispensible tool for detecting, quantitating, and isolating proteins and other moieties in cells, tissues, and body fluids. While antibodies used for therapeutics and clinical diagnosis are subject to stringent regulations by health authorities throughout the world, there are no standards or third-party quality controls for research antibodies.
Hundreds of biotech companies offer research antibodies, which are either polyclonal, monoclonal, or more recently, recombinant. However, the specificities of these antibody reagents do not always match scientists' expectations. An antibody might bind non-specific targets and might not be suitable for a specific application. Utilization of such an antibody often leads to false positive results. These misleading results can nullify important discoveries, discredit a research team and impede scientific progress. Academic journals have withdrawn articles presenting data based on non-specific antibodies, and poor antibody quality has been attributed as one of the causes for the irreproducibility of published discoveries.
In order to help alleviate this antibody quality and specificity problem, Labome sought to organize antibody applications cited in formal publications since 2008 and has developed Validated Antibody Database (VAD). VAD, a manually curated database, compiles commercial and non-commercial antibodies whose specificities and applications have been independently reported in published results from formal articles. In particular, VAD catalogues antibody applications validated in knockout studies. VAD version 2.2 contains 143357 entries of antibody applications from 38430 articles, covering 35146 antibody reagents from 110 high-quality suppliers. The database is updated every other month. VAD is freely accessible for online browsing at www.labome.com.

The Gordon Research Conference on Chloroplast Biotechnology took place in Ventura California between Jan 18 and 23. This was the first GRC on this topic. The conference was exciting from beginning to end, with a mix of basic and very applied research presented. Attendees were from across North America and around the world. Agrisera presented a poster describing antibody compartment markers (picture above).
From January 8 to 11, Agrisera represented by Dr. Chris Brown from Environmental Proteomics (Canada), attended the 24th Western Photosynthesis Conference (WPC) in Asilomar California. This conference draws some of the top labs in the western US, as well as several from central US and from across the Pacific in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea. This year’s WPC did not disappoint.
Agrisera AB has entered into commercial agreement with Avacta Group plc (AIM: AVCT), the global provider of proprietary diagnostic tools, consumables and reagents for human and animal healthcare. The aim is to develop Affimer based purification systems for proteomics applications. Agrisera has been established for over thirty years and specialises in development and marketing of antibodies and related research tools globally, offering several thousand antibodies for plant and algal cell biology research.
Plant proteomics is a rapidly growing field like human proteomics in which scientists are working to understand the relationships between proteins and diseases to drive a revolution in the way issues such as food security, safety and human health are addressed. In proteomics, samples are often dominated by highly abundant proteins making it difficult to detect the rare proteins that may be the most important in a disease process. Therefore, frequently, samples need to be enriched for non-abundant proteins to facilitate proteomic analysis. This is currently done using antibodies to extract the highly abundant proteins using a bead based affinity column. Affimers are an engineered alternative to antibodies. The market opportunity, whilst difficult to quantitate accurately, is significant. Agrisera AB and Avacta Life Sciences have entered into an agreement to develop Affimer based depletion products with improved performance and economics compared to the current systems. The agreement provides for commercialisation to be carried out by Agrisera under an undisclosed revenue sharing model.
Greger Nordlund, Chief Executive Officer of Agrisera, said: "We are very pleased to enter into this collaboration with Avacta employing their promising Affimer technology. This collaboration is fully in line with Agrisera's strategy to develop and provide novel, effective tools and reagents to the research community."
Dr Alastair Smith, Avacta Group Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Agrisera is a well respected, high quality provider of research tools for plant sciences research and I am delighted that we will be working with them to develop the first Affimer based product for the agri-bio market. "This market, in general, is not as well served as the human life sciences market by the large antibody suppliers, so there is a great opportunity for Avacta to establish Affimers in a growing market where there are many gaps, as well as pushing forward with our plans to address the human life sciences market."
Agrisera continues a very fruitful collaboration with the Faculty of Biology at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland. The Faculty recently obtained a status of a KNOW center – Leading National Research Centre, together with the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences in Poznan. This status, assigned through competition, can only be given to institutions carrying out scientific research at the highest level and providing PhD studies of the highest quality. Both units are well known for their studies on RNA structure, function, and metabolism. Poznan RNA Research Centre will get additional money to support various aspects of RNA research: from basic research on RNA metabolism in bacteria, plants and human, through more applied studies on RNA viruses and the role of RNA in cancer and inherited diseases and their therapies, up to the development of bioinformatics tools allowing advanced structure-function studies. Many new antibodies for proteins involved in RNA metabolism will be produced in a near future. To learn more about the Poznan RNA research Centre visit their KNOW center Poznan.
If your answer is yes - nominate us as Researcher's Choice of CiteAb and F1000Research award, nominations are opened!

 | CiteAb has performed an analysis of PubMed publication record from last five years and concluded that Swedish research output referencing antibody use has moved Sweden to position 6 in the world. This indicates extremely fast growth in life science research which is using antibodies. With a population of only 9.6 mln, Sweden is a home for many world known research centers, to name a few: Karolinska Institute, Lund University, Umeå Plant Science Center, Uppsala University. A great effort to create antibodies to all proteins of human proteome was also inititiated and conducted in Sweden and as a result The Human Protein Atlas is available for research community. Agrisera was one of the companies which produced antibodies for the purpose of this project. Whole blog post from CiteAb about Swedish life science growth can be found here. |
Look out for special invitations, promotions and other activities to come.
Agrisera can have more than 2 antibodies to the same protein (in some cases up to 8!) and distinguishing which antibody has been used in a specific work might be quite difficult without a product code. Also, some protein names might be differently used in scientific papers compare to what is listed on a company website. Therefore please do use our product codes when you are citing Agrisera antibodies in your scienfitic papers!
The following free samples of Agrisera secondary antibodies are available for testing:
Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H&L), HRP conjugated AS09 602
Goat anti-Chicken IgY (H&L), HRP conjugated AS09 603

If a secondary antibody that you might be interested in is not included above, please contact us.
Our collection consists of over 1000 secondary antibodies (ALP, biotin, DyLight, FITC,TRITC and HRP-conjugated) as well as blocking serum.
All from your local supplier.
Therefore, our product information sheets are including information about confirmed (based on experimental data) and predicted reactivity (based on sequence conservation). In cases when you are not certain or your species is not listed on our product information sheet - please contact us providing a protein sequence you aim to detect in your assay and information in what assay you are planning to use our antibody. Some antibodies will not work in techniques which require binding to a native and exposed part of a protein.
Following those links, you can find out which of Agrisera antibodies are reacting with chosen model species: Arabidopsis thaliana | Chlamydomonas reinhardii | cyanobacteria | Conifers | diatoms | Glycine max | Hordeum vulgare | Medicago truncatula | Nicotiana tabacum | Oryza sativa | Phaseolus vulgaris | Physcomitrella patens | Pisum sativum | Populus sp. | Solanum lycopersicum | Solanum tuberosum | Spinacia oleracea | Triticum sp. | Zea mays | Vitis vinifera | Search an antibody by species reactivity here.
The PSL Alliance is a new network for SMEs supplying reagents for research use only. The aim of the Alliance is to help promote manufacturers of high quality products.
 | Commercial antibodies are developed to various antigens (more information about procedures can be found in Agrisera Antibody Production Guide), being often recombinant proteins of full length, truncated or 7-20 amino acid long peptides. Development of antibodies against specific peptides is a common approach for cases where a specific isoform of a protein family is to be targeted. Therefore such an antibody will be often rather isoform and species specific. Based upon antigen sequence it is possible to predict if an antibody in question has a potential to work on a protein from species not listed on the product information sheet. Agrisera product information sheets are listing both: confirmed reactivity (based on experimental results) and predicted reactivity (resulting from sequence alignment of peptide sequence used to elicit given antibody). If information regarding a specific sequence used to elicit given antibody is not available - please, do contact us, with a question and provide us with the protein sequence you are aiming to detect. Even if there is some conservation level found in protein alignment, the crucial is if a sequence of the antigen used to elicit given antibody is conserved in your protein sequence and to what extent. This will save you money and time in the future. You are welcome to contact us with your question! |

Agrisera is supporting following organizations:
"Reporting research antibody use: how to increase experimental reproducibility", reporting format for experiments conducted with antibodies should include many important details like: antibody name and catalog number as well as a batch number, company/academic who supplied the antibody, the host species in which antibody was raised and its clonality (yes, monoclonal antibody are no longer only rised in mice but also in other species like rabbit or chicken). At present product number code and company name are absolute minimum which are however often omitted. Companies, including Agrisera are carrying multiple antibodies to the same protein and finding an antibody matching the work might be quite an effort. Also, there is actually a batch to batch variation in antibody world, which might undermine efforts to repeat certain results. In a blog post from CiteAb, you can find useful suggestions on how to cite antibodies used in your publications.
Over the years Agrisera antibodies were cited in thousands of publications and we are working hard to match them with our specific products. A list of chosen scientific references matching Agrisera antibodies can be found here.
Thank you all who joined for in depth questions and discussions!
Agrisera presented a seminar in Polish: Tips and tricks of antibody production and western blot - how to obtain good results, on 17.06 at Instutute of Dendrology of Polish Academy of Sciences in Kórnik and on 18.06 at Faculty of Biology of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Thank you all who attended and shared their experience!

Agrisera to work with new antibody search engine
Agrisera is working with a new antibody search engine called CiteAb to ensure antibodies are easy to find and that researchers can quickly see where they have been cited in the past.
CiteAb lists over 800,000 antibodies from 50 companies, along with the publications that cite them. CiteAb is the largest independent citation-ranked antibody search engine, and is regularly updated with new antibodies and citations.
The search engine has been developed by a team based in Bath in the UK, and has been both supported and rigorously tested by the University of Bath.
Dr Andrew Chalmers is behind CiteAb. He said: “Citations are the best guide to whether an antibody is likely to work in your laboratory, they are independent and easily verifiable. We’re aiming to make CiteAb as comprehensive as possible and are delighted to be able to include Agrisera antibodies.”
Agrisera provides CiteAb with data for all of its primary antibodies. CiteAb is asking users of our antibodies to submit their publications to the site - increasing the profile of your work and helping others to find the right antibody.

From 30.07 until 2.08 Agrisera participated in this year Plant Biology Congress in Freiburg. Many good discussions took place at Agrisera booth. Plenty of comments about our products and new antibodies for plant science research were received. The contest to win a free antibody in return for a suggestion continued. Results will be announced in September :)
Agrisera contributed to a well attended in spite of late hour, "Career workshop " - Career planning for plant scientists Organised by the Society for Experimental Biology, Sarah Blackford, which presented useful information from professionals (Joanna from Agrisera was one of the speakers) working in these careers and other fields to help you to decide which direction to take your future career. More useful information on carrier development can be found on Sarah's blog.
During the 20th to 24th of July, Agrisera was present at the ASPB meeting in Austin, Texas. At our booth we were soliciting opinions from researchers about the 80 most cited proteins in plant research. There were over 1100 registered participants, and many more "walk-ins" since Austin Texas is the location of several universities. The weather was a very hot 36 C but the beautiful air-conditioned convention centre was large enough to hold everyone, including the exhibits and 800 posters.
From 3.07 until 6.07 Agrisera was present on Arabidopsis 2012 in a very hot Vienna. A list of potential protein targets for antibody production was presented to the community and lots of feedback was received. Based on those opinions and valuable suggestions Agrisera will commit to produce several new antibodies which will become available in 2012 and 2013. Thank you for a fantastic meeting!
Summertime is very treasured for us Swedes and is one of our dearest traditions. After many months of snow and ice we celebrate the sun and the warmth by dance, singing, playing, eating and drinking.
Fascination of Plants Day was organized all over Europe on 18th of May. In Umeå it was hosted by Umeå University and included lots of various activities for a whole family. The event was very well attended. Agrisera joined in and gave away seed bags and talked about our support for plant science research.
Between 3-4th of May Dr. Joanna Porankiewicz-Asplund from Agrisera participated in the meeting "Structure and dynamics of the thylakoid membrane" hold at The Royal Society at Chicheley Hall.The meeting was organised by Professor James Barber FRS and Professor Peter Horton FRS. During the meeting we celebrated 80 years birthday of Professor Jan Anderson, a pioneer of photosynthetic research. This was a fascinating journey of discoveries done over past 30 years to understand photosynthesis.
I would like to thank the organizers for inviting Agrisera to participate in this special event!
A pool of antibodies to various Arabidopsis and poplar proteins is available for free for testing. Listo of antibodies can be found here:

Thank you to all our new and old customers for being with us during 2010, sharing your ideas, giving suggestions and helping us to grow up Agrisera catalogue.
Agrisera protein extraction buffer PEB and global antibodies (anti-PsbA and anti-RbcL) were used to validate high throughput protein extraction from tough,recalcitrant marine phytoplankton.
Standard microprobe sonication/flash freeze protocol has been compared with Precellys® (Bertin Technologies) bead-based system to extrat total proteins from multiple samples in parallel.
Comparison of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (RbcL) immunodetection from phytoplankton after protein extraction through sonication or Precellys bead beating. RbcL was detected by immunoblotting using a chicken anti-RbcL primary antibody(AS01 017) and a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-chicken secondary antibody (AS09 603). MW, molecular weight protein ladder (in kDa).
The total yield of proteins extracted from each species was similar using the sonication/flash freeze protocol or Precellys® bead beating system. Using Precellys® system sample throughput and reproducibility are higher than with sonication/flash freeze protocol.
Agrisera has been visiting Biotechnica in Hannover. Discussing collaboration opportunities, scouting for new product development and new advertising platforms. There were two very giving days for us and we hope it will result in new products which contribute to your success!
Agrisera was intived to participate in 3rd Physcomitrella genome workshop with Industry Night presentation about: Design and validation of antibodies recognizing hihgly conserved proteins in a wide range of species.Panel of antibodies with confirmed reactivity to Phycomitrella patens has been presented, developed within framework of the Freiburg Initiative for Systems Biology (FRISYS) for quantitative proteomics of Physcomitrella. Article including those results: Simultaneous isolation of pure and intact chloroplasts and mitochondria from moss as the basis for sub-cellular proteomics, is accepted for publication in Plant Cell Reports.
Many thanks to the members of prof. Reski group for good discussions and great hospitality. Many new ideas have been born!

XVII congress of the Federation of European Societies of Plant Biology (FESPB) took place in Valencia, Spain, 4-9-07. Over 1250 participants attended. It was a great pleasure to meet Agrisera old customers, collaborating partners and new customers coming by our display. Many new ideas for antibodies to be included in Agrisera product list in the future were born.
There was a possibility to take home Agrisera new antibody catalogue or win an antibody by answering a simple question: "How many antibodies are in Agrisera catalogue".The happy winner of this competition is a researcher from Laboratory of Celll Biology in Czech Republic.
Agrisera candy, even though at first mistaken with antibodies, was very popular (left bottom corner on the picture) as well as Agrisera pens. Looking forward to meet you during next FESPB in 2012 in Freiburg!
