[Histonet] custom antibodies

[rocan <@t> mac.com]

Jennifer,

We had very good service from ProSci. Here is their web site address.

If you are going invest in peptides I recommend immunizing each rabbit 
(or mouse) with at least three different peptides from your protein.  
This will increase your chances of a good antibody and lower the cost.  
You would need to analyze the protein sequence on a hydrophobicity plot 
to find good candidates for antigenicity.  I am sure ProSci (for a 
fee), can do this analysis as well.
Good luck,
Rocio
