SpeedeeTM Rabbit Polyclonal Antibodies For Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

SpeedeeTM Rabbit Polyclonal Antibodies for Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Seattle Genova offers competitively priced protocol packages for producing custom rabbit polyclonal antibodies to peptide and protein antigens of the zebrafish.

Advantages of rabbit polyclonal antibodies

• Natural diversity.

• High affinity and specificity.

• Novel epitope recognition.

• Cross-reactivity to human and mouse targets.

• Ideal antibodies for IHC. 

The zebrafish is an important and widely used vertebrate model organism in scientific research, for example in drug development, in particular pre-clinical development. It is also notable for its regenerative abilities, and has been modified by researchers to produce many transgenic strains.

Benefits of the zebrafish

• The zebrafish is small, robust and cheaper to maintain than mice.

• Zebrafish produce hundreds of offspring at weekly intervals providing scientists with an ample supply of embryos to study.

• They grow at an extremely fast rate, developing as much in a day as a human embryo develops in one month.

• Zebrafish embryos are nearly transparent which allows researchers to easily examine the development of internal structures. 

• As zebrafish eggs are ideal for studying early development.

• Zebrafish have a similar genetic structure to humans. They share 70 per cent of genes with us.

• 84 per cent of genes known to be associated with human disease have a zebrafish counterpart. 

• The zebrafish has the same major organs and tissues as humans. Their muscle, blood, kidney and eyes share many features with human systems.

• The zebrafish genome has been fully sequenced to a very high quality.
