A given laboratory may aim to detect different proteins of varied expression levels, in the tissue being analyzed. Agrisera offers a unique pack of combined reagents, with two different sensitivities. This allows more versatile detection, of high and medium abundancy proteins (Agrisera ECLBright), as well as low abundancy proteins (AgriseraECL SuperBright). Depending on the target protein that we aim to detect, different detection reagent needs to be used, and Agrisera offers this possibility provided in the same set.
In the example above, the aim was to detect a highly abundant photosynthetic protein, PsbA. Using Agrisera anti-PsbA antibodies (AS05 084), a matching secondary antibodies of high titer, goat anti-rabbit, HRP-conjugated (AS09 602) and Agrisera ECL reagent of extreme low femtogram detection range (AgriseraECLSuperBright), resulted in prominently increased background signal. Choosing the other reagent, provided in the Agrisera ECL set, gave the possibility to optimize the result in a very swift manner. There is no need to repeat the whole procedure, as the membrane can be subjected to a wash and developed with less sensitive ECL. It is oftentimes not the primary antibody that contributes to increased background, but rather high load/well, combined with a too sensitive detection reagent.

On the 23rd of January, Agrisera conducted the workshop "Western blot – a technique possible to optimize" for researchers and students at the Department of Biological Sciences, Wrocław University, Poland. The workshop was held by Dr. Joanna Porankiewicz Asplund, Agrisera's Technical Support Manager. The meeting gathered 80 participants and was 2 hours long. During the break, the attendees could participate in a quiz, and had a chance to win two ECL reagents with different sensitivities (AS18 SecondaryECL), or a book on photosynthesis. All attendees are very welcome to contact Agrisera with any Western blot and antibody-related questions you may have in the future.

Secondary antibodies conjugated to HRP (Horseradish peroxidase) and ALP (Alkaline phosphatase) enzymes are most frequently used to visualize target proteins in Western blot, ELISA and immunolocalization. When using secondary antibodies conjugated to HRP, the detection is performed using chemiluminescence (recorded by a CCD camera or another imager), which gives high sensitivity and good resolution in both Western blot and chemiluminescent ELISA. When using antibodies conjugated to ALP, visualization of the antibody binding to the target is achieved using chromogenic reagents, and no CCD camera is necessary. Agrisera's secondary antibody collection is composed of over 220 antibodies; both highly purified and available in a basic format, suitable for Western blot, as well as adsorbed to serum from a wide range of animal species, suitable for immunolocalization and ELISA. Based on the analysis of antibody performance in available publications, conducted by CiteAB, it became very clear that Agrisera secondary antibodies are performing above market average. This means that Agrisera secondary antibodies conjugated to ALP or HRP can be used at high dilutions and are price-worthy reagents, and will provide you with a consistent performance over many experiments.

Oligomer specific amyloid-beta antibodies
Discover Agrisera's unique monoclonal antibodies targeting amyloid-beta oligomers. The approach is based on a combination of high avidity and cryptic epitopes and result in a high selectivity for Abeta oligomers where oligomers are selectively detected also in the presence of stoichiometric excess of abeta monomers corresponding to more than 4 orders of magnitude.
The approach is based on a sandwich ELISA set up where the oligomer-specific antibodies are immobilized in the bottom, followed by exposure to the sample of interest. The oligomer specific antibodies will bind the oligomers with a very high binding strength, and detection of bound abeta oligomers is subsequently performed by a normal pan anti-abeta antibody. For the second step, we recommend strong binding polyclonal anti-abeta antibody or biotin labelled variants of the oligomer-specific monoclonals.
Suggested antibody pairs with excellent performance are indicated below:
Suggested sandwich ELISA pair for the detection abeta-oligomers:
ELISA setup 1
Coating OMAB, mouse monoclonal antibody (AS10 932)
Detection OMAB, Biotinylated (AS10 932B), or amyloid-beta peptide rabbit antibody (AS08 328)
ELISA setup 2
Coating: Anti-mAB-M | Mouse anti-human Abeta protein (3-10) region, oligomer-specific (clone 2D10,F6) mouse monoclonal antibodies (AS13 2716) or Anti-mAB-O | Mouse anti-human Abeta protein (3-10) region, oligomer-specific (clone 3E5,F8) mouse monoclonal antibodies (AS13 2715)
Detection: OMAB, Biotinylated (AS10 932B), or amyloid-beta peptide rabbit antibody AS08 328)
The method used to develop these antibodies is described in detail in: Brännström et al. 2014, PLoS one: A Generic Method for Design of Oligomer-Specic Antibodies.
Other antibodies (not oligomer specific) include:
Anti-Abeta (1-42) | Amyloid-beta peptide 1-42, rabbit antibodies (AS08 328) Anti-Abeta (1-42) | Amyloid-beta peptide 1-42, rabbit antibodies (AS08 357) Anti-Abeta (1-42) | Amyloid-beta peptide 1-42, chicken antibodies (AS08 329)

The Global Plant Events Calendar was initiated on January 2nd, 2019 as a mutual effort of Plantae and Agrisera, to provide the plant community with a comprehensive list of worldwide events. Over the last three years, hundreds of various events have been listed in the calendar, making it easy for plant researchers to receive a quick overview of available events. As the pandemic developed in 2020, many events were cancelled, postponed, or moved online. All these changes were regularly updated in the calendar, which became a source for information on in-person, as well as online meetings, like webinars on different topics relevant to plant biology.
Today, The Global Plant Events Calendar is the most comprehensive list of worldwide events for the plant community.
If you are not familiar with the calendar, this short video will show you how to use it. You are welcome to submit information about a meeting you are organizing!

Agrisera anti-mNeonGreen polyclonal antibodies are effectively detecting mNeonGreen fusion proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana, Nicotiana benthamiana and Chlamydomonas reinhardii in dilutions up to 1: 3000, good signal-to-noise ratio and low background. mNeonGreen (Fluorescent Protein) is a new bright monomertic yellow-green fluorescent, with low conservation level to GFP. It has an excitation maximum at 506 nm and an emission maximum at 517 nm and is therefore compatible with the most GFP filter sets. mNeonGreen is 3x brighter compare to GFP, more stable and does not bleach so fast as GFP, which makes it very suitable for confocal and super resolution microscopy, for fusion proteins with low expression levels. It can be used in bicistronic vectors, which will allow simultaneous expression of two proteins separately, from the same RNA transcript. mNeonGreen has MW of 26.6 kDa. | ![]() Check experimental details with anti-mNeonGreen polyclonal antibodies (AS21 4525) |

Agrisera's Plant Actin Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody (product number AS21 4615) is the first recombinant monoclonal antibody made to plant actin. The antibody is developed in vitro using animal-free technologies, to provide end users with low batch-to-batch variation and secure a long-term supply of antibodies with the same characteristics. Actin is a highly conserved protein, and an essential component of the cell cytoskeleton. It plays an important role in cytoplasmic streaming, cell shape determination, cell division, organelle movement and extension growth. Actin is preferentially expressed in young and expanding tissues, floral organ primordia, developing seeds and emerging inflorescence. Agrisera's new actin antibody can be used as a loading control for plant tissues, and works with chemiluminescent, chromogenic and fluorescent detection.

20 % off blocking (normal) serum and negative control![]() Agrisera offers a wide range of high-quality blocking (normal) serum for the application as a blocking agent, or as a negative control for immunoassays. All serum is obtained from healthy animals. The following formats are available:
Serum is lipid-extracted, dialyzed against phosphate buffer, and provided as lyophilized powder without preservative in different amounts: From 1-10 mg to 1 g and bulk. For most immunoassays like IHC, ELISA or Western blot, blocking is a crucial step to perform. This procedure blocks spaces that are not occupied by immobilized proteins, which prevents non-specific binding of the antibodies used in the assay. If blocking is not performed, false signals or high background will occur. There is no universal blocking agent, therefore empirical testing is necessary to determine which agent to use for a given assay. If normal serum is used as a blocker, it is recommended to use serum derived from the same host species as the detection antibody, conjugated with the reporter enzyme like HRP (Horse radish peroxidase) or ALP (Alkaline phosphatase). Example: Primary antibody: Rabbit anti-target Blocking serum: Normal Chicken Serum (usually used at 5 % v/v in PBS with Tween®20 detergent) Secondary antibody: Chicken anti-Rabbit IgG-HRP conjugated Note: Rabbit serum cannot be used for blocking in such a combination.

Proximity labelling is a laboratory technique which makes it possible to label proteins (in this case by biotinylation), proximal to protein of interest. This allows studying protein interactome networks in different types of cells and organs, as well as different developmental stages. The technique is achieved by a gene fusion in a living cell, between the protein of interest and BioID (BirA). The TurboID variant is a biotin ligase, with substantially higher activity, which provides higher temporal resolution and broader application in vivo. The labelling time is just 10 minutes in RT, compared to the over 18 hours of labelling time required for BioID. Agrisera offers a new polyclonal antibody, prepared to a recombinant mutated BirA protein from E.coli, called TurboID. anti-BirA (mutated/TurboID) The proximity labelling technique is described in various publications, e.g.: Zhang et al. (2020). TurboID-Based Proximity Labeling for In Planta Identification of Protein-Protein Interaction Networks.J Vis Exp. 2020 May 17;(159).doi: 10.3791/60728. Cho et al. (2020). Proximity labeling in mammalian cells with TurboID and split-TurboID.Nat Protoc. 2020 Dec;15(12):3971-3999. doi: 10.1038/s41596-020-0399-0. Mair et al. (2019).

This year our Christmas gift goes to Vi Agroforestry and the campaign All of Sweden against the Hunger Pandemic. As a result of the ongoing corona pandemic, there is a risk that 130 million people will suffer from acute famine. Vi Agroforestry works with tree planting in eastern Africa, where they train local farmers' organizations in sustainable agriculture and agroforestry, gender equality and business management. The effect is greater harvests and more food on the tables, more money to invest in the farm and in the children's schooling, and in the end reducing poverty and improved the climate.
We are proud to contribute!
We wish you all happy and merry holiday time and lots of success in 2021!

Antibodies to tags can be applied in cases when there are no dedicated antibodies against a given protein. Addition of a specific tag, like for example FLAG, His, HA, makes it possible to study target protein using specific anti-tag antibody applied in techniques like: immunofluorescence, immunoprecipiation or Western blot or purification using affinity chromatography. The peptide sequence of a tag can be fused to N-terminus or C-terminus of a protein under investigation or inserted within a protein. Some tags, like FLAG can be combined with other affinity tags: His, HA or myc. Historically, FLAG is a first epitope tag and the only epitope tag which is patented. Tag sequences are very short and recognized by high affinity antibodies, produced in wide species range: goat, chicken, mouse, rabbit. Some of available anti-tag antibodies are tag position sensitive and one has to take it into account, before a purchase of anti-tag antibody.

Agrisera collection of antibodies to diatom proteins can be found here.
When it comes to antibody storage the rule "one method for all antibodies" does not apply, and it is not safe to assume that -80°C is always the best storage condition. Let us explain why. Antibodies are proteins of different stability, and therefore some antibodies can lose activity when stored at -80°C or on dry ice. This is also true in regards to the shipment of antibodies. Based on our experience and published references, some proteins may be damaged by storage or shipment on dry ice: Murphy et al. (2013): Protein instability following transport or storage on dry ice.
For custom produced antibodies, we recommend testing various conditions to find the most suitable one:
• -20°C or -80°C
• +4°C with preservatives like azide (0.02%) or merthiolate
• -20°C with glycerol at a final concentration of 10% or 50% (for affinity purified antibodies)
• -20°C with BSA at final concentration of 0.05-0.5% (for affinity purified antibodies)
More information on what to consider when storing different kinds of antibodies can be found here.
A known problem is that affinity purified antibodies can precipitate when stored at 4°C. However, such antibodies may still maintain their activity towards a target protein.
For catalog antibodies, we highly recommend checking the product information sheet, which is always included with the product, and contains proper information about storage conditions. If you have further questions, you can request additional information by contacting us.
Good luck with your research!

Jan Karlsson received the UPSC Agrisera Prize 2019 to acknowledge his ceaseless technical support for the UPSC community at UPSC (Umeå Plant Science Centre). The announcement was done during the Christmas lunch, and the motivation from one of the nominations was as follows: "He is always there for the whole institute to help to solve all kind of technical, computational, mechanical or physical strength-requiring problems. He has spent the night at work to make sure that the backup power system will not fail when there was a planned overnight power interruption. He did a tremendous amount of work with Thomas Hiltonen for the moving of Plant Physiology Department during the moving out from old labs, the reconstruction and moving into the new lab. He supervises all growth chambers, shakers and cabinets, and he is the one, who we hope to find in his office when we need a solution for a challenging technical issue. People can always ask for his advice or help, independently from which department they belong to."
This year the prize was presented by Joanna Porankiewicz-Asplund from Agrisera and by the chair of the UPSC Board, Catherine Bellini. From left to right: Joanna Porankiewicz-Asplund (Agrisera), Catherine Bellini (Chair of the UPSC board), Jan Karlsson. Photo: Anne Honsel.
Each antibody is made to a different protein and thus recognizes different epitopes. Therefore, even if many antibodies purchased from a given company worked well for your species, this does not guarantee that the next antibody will. There needs to be a match of the sequence the antibody is binding to in the sequence of the protein which is aimed to be detected. Based on our experience, at least a 70 % match in linear sequence needs to be confirmed. Many antibodies are made to short, 10 to 15 amino acids long peptides. Overall target protein conservation between species will not be relevant in such a case if there is no match in the exact sequence used to elicit the given antibody.

Therefore, before purchasing an antibody which has not been used on a given species or application, conservation of the antigen used to elicit such antibody should be confirmed.
Send your question to: [email protected] and we will help to check sequence conservation and confirm your choice for the best outcome of your experiments.

Our warmest congratulations to Dr. Manuela Leonardelli from Roman Ulm lab at University of Geneva, who received the Agrisera Best Poster Prize for her poster: "UVR8 - mediated photoprotection in Arabidopsis thaliana" during the Plants in Changing World meeting in Helsinki, Finland.

Can listings a product numbers of primary and secondary antibody used in your research actually minimize waste of work and resources in the future?
More than half of the antibodies currently used in research cannot be properly identified, which makes it impossible to conduct a given experiment using the same set of antibodies. Companies often offer multiple antibodies to the same target protein (e.g. tags and protein modifications) and identifying a specific antibody used in a given publication is simply impossible.
There are no worldwide standard guidelines on how antibodies should be cited in publications and journals. Besides the product number for any primary antibody used in research, the secondary antibody should also be properly cited with 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 the recent 45th Annual Midwest/Southeast Photosynthesis Conference in Indiana, the 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.
Our warmest congratulations Kelsey. We are waiting your free antibody choice!
No, this is NOT the case.
Each protein-antibody pair may require slightly modified binding and detection conditions. The variations may for example be a membrane with another pore size and physical properties (nitrocellulose or PVDF) as well as different blockers, incubation times and primary antibody dilutions. 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 keep in your lab!
Get your free copy of the Agrisera Western Blot Guide here!


If no signal is detected in a total cell extract, it is worth fractionating, to obtain specific chloroplast, mitochondria or nuclei enriched fractions. This procedure will concentrate a target protein and lead to the detection of a desired band (for non-cytoplasmic proteins). This is 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 using a specific organ, e.g. the root tip, or a leaf at a certain developmental stage, will greatly contribute to the successful identification of your 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 the example above, the same antibody was used (Anti-BAK1, AS12 1858) but the proteins were extracted with two different buffers.
Minor adjustments in the buffer components resulted in the improved detection of the target protein - from NO band to a band of correct MW.
If you are interested in more tricks to optimize your western blot, you are welcome to contact us or request a copy of the 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 start including information in the documentation of scientific research, to allow antibody identification by researchers who want to repeat your experiments. Some journals provide a guideline for antibody citation, but unfortunately most of them do not. This vital issue is most often completely overlooked.
If there are no recommendations from the 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 that will allow their future identification. This is especially important for antibodies to tag proteins.
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: [email protected]
- There is an option to subscribe to the calendar
- Simple search can be done using specific key words
Blog post of Plantae about the calendar.

Over many years Agrisera supported and collaborated with plant organizations worldwide:
Amercican Society of Plant Biologists, The Canadian Society of Plant Biologists, The Federation of European Societies of Plant Biology, International Society of Photosynthesis Research.
We value these relationships and are happy to be a part of an amazing plant community.

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 protocols 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, the standard protocol can be shortened considerably. In this example, primary antibody incubation can be shortened to 30 minutes, which, combined with blocking and secondary antibody incubations all taking place during those 30 minutes, saves a considerable amount of time, not to mention 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.

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
Rabbit anti-Goat IgG (H&L), HRP conjugated AS09 605
Rabbit anti-Mouse IgG (H&L), HRP conjugated AS09 627
Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H&L), ALP conjugated AS09 607
Goat anti-Rat IgG (H&L), HRP conjugated AS10 1187
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), often being 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 often be rather isoform and species-specific. Based on antigen sequence, it is possible to predict if the antibody in question has the potential to work on a protein from species not listed on the product information sheet. Agrisera product information sheets list both confirmed reactivity (based on experimental results), and predicted reactivity (resulting from sequence alignment of the peptide sequence used to elicit given antibody). If information regarding a specific sequence used to elicit given antibody is not available - please contact us with your question, and provide us with the protein sequence you are aiming to detect. Even if there is some conservation level found in protein alignment, it is crucial to know if the sequence of the antigen used to elicit a 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! |
Welcome to come by, during this special year filled with many cultural attractions!

"Reporting research antibody use: how to increase experimental reproducibility", reporting format for experiments conducted with antibodies should include many important details like: antibody name, catalog number, as well as a batch number, company/academic that 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 and company name are the absolute minimum required to identify an antibody, but this is, however, still often omitted. Companies, including Agrisera, carry multiple antibodies to the same protein, and finding an antibody matching the work might thus be quite an effort. Furthermore, there is actually a batch-to-batch variation in the 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 the 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 with Agrisera antibodies can be found here.



Thank you all who joined for in depth questions and discussions!

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 proteins from various plant and algal species is available for free for testing.

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 extract 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 the 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!
Agrisera has been represented by our Chinese distributor Beijing Qwbio & Santainio INC during 15th International Congress on Photosynthesis in Beijing, 22.08 - 27.08. Thank you to all who visited the booth!
Thank you all who came by our display during ASPB in Montreal and shared ideas and very valuable feedback. Our workshop on "Tips and Troubleshooting for Quantitative and Qualitative Immunoblotting of Photosynthetic Organisms" has been recorded and will be soon available on Agrisera web site.

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!
Conference centre in Uppsala was hosting 9th International Hydrogenase Conference in June this year. Agrisera was participating. It was a very interesting and giving meeting. Thank you to all who came by Agrisera display. We have received many new ideas for the future antibody development.
Umeå Renewable Energy Workshop, 16-17 March 2010, From Structures and Mechanism of Biological Enzymes to Biomass production and Utilization The workshop was organized in the Chemical Biological Centre (KBC) of Umeå University with four invited speakers from USA, Germany, Finland and Stockholm. While the temperatures outside the building are reaching minus 17ºC, intensive lectures proceed inside. BTW: Did you know that if one third of water in the pool of Beijing National Aquatics Center could be split - it would fulfill world's energy needs!

Third snow has arrived and we hope that it will stay until spring (end of April). With such magnificent nature around Agrisera is creating new products to speed up Your research.
Agrisera engaged in Physcomitrella proteomicsAgrisera, a world-leading SME in plant-specific antibodies, is closely collaborating with Professor Ralf Reski, a world-leading expert in moss systems biology, to develop and to test moss-specific antibodies for quantitative proteomics. These antibodies are going to be used in the framework of the Freiburg Initiative for Systems Biology (FRISYS) for quantitative proteomics of Physcomitrella and will be sold by Agrisera. Intensive work on the project is currently conducted in Reski's Plant Biotechnology group at the University of Freiburg (Germany). First results are going to be made public in January 2010. The moss Physcomitrella has been developed by a fast growing scientific community as a model plant with implications for basal as well as applied research. The latter includes identification of genes for crop improvement and the production of complex biopharmaceuticals in the moss bioreactor.
