⚠️ Half of commercial antibodies miss their target! So how do you pick the right one for your experiment? Here’s the solution 👉 Antibody characterization data (all tested in KO cells) are now available at: 🔗 onlygoodantibodies.co.uk Tested by @ycharos.bsky.social & @oga-community.bsky.social

The @ycharos.bsky.social antibody characterization protocol using knock-out cells as controls is now published, and endorsed. Remember though that it’s a generic protocol - you still need to do the proper controls for your own experiments! www.nature.com/articles/s41...
