Gee I do live in an ideal world, looking through rose coloured glasses - definitely affects my interpretation of an H&E stain!

Hi Teri
If you can get a monoclonal antibody from different sources, the same clone, the same Ig concentration, IT IS THE SAME.
There is no any benefit in buying the antibody from Company B to try, since it is a duplication of effort and cost

Dear Histonetters,

If you can get a monoclonal antibody from different sources, the same clone, the same Ig concentration, is it the same? In other words, we are using clone #XX#X from Company A. Someone else has had success using clone #XX#X from Company B.

Is there any benefit to buying the antibody from Company B to try, or would it be a duplication of effort and cost?

Thanks for your input!
