Antibodypedia
The Antibodypedia [1] is a new web service intended to provide better data on the usability of anti-protein antibodies. It's currently only limited to human proteins. As of Oct 2008, the website provides standardised results for about 3000 antibodies [2]. The antibodies were tested using Western blot, immunohistochemistry, protein array and immunofluorescence. Submissions are invited and have to pass review. Pages are not editable but scientists can comment on individual antibodies.
Comment
I asked whether the AntibodypediA will be extended to common model organisms like mouse, etc. This is the reply I received via email: "We are also planning to include mouse antibodies in Antibodypedia. We will begin working towards that during 2012. Already today we have antibodies reactive to both human and mouse. To find all antibodies stated to be reactive in mouse you can use the search [3]." --- JS 10:36, 20 October 2011 (EDT)
I'm still wondering whether an open submission system may result in more user contributions.
