Antibodies are proteins produced by white blood cells in response to the
introduction of a foreign body known as an antigen. Antibodies, which have a
wide variety of uses in research, diagnostics and therapeutics, are used by
bioscientists in research into disease and into the human genome, where they are
used to mark and identify specific cells and other living matter. The number of
human antibodies of use in research is potentially greater than one million.
About Abcam Abcam was founded in 1998 to supply bioscientists with specialist research products, particularly antibodies (essential tools, enabling them to analyse the components of living cells at the molecular level). The company has grown strongly to over 80 employees and now has customers in over 50 countries and it is now recognised as one of the leading companies in its field. The future is growth for Abcam as it continues to expand using its proven product development, marketing and customer service performance, including exciting areas such as Neuroscience, Nuclear Signaling and Stem Cells.
