Antibody Validation: Antibody binding affinity is another parameter that can be used for antibody validation. It refers to the strength with which an antibody molecule binds an epitope.
The detection of circulating molecular biomarkers is useful for monitoring pathogenic processes and response to therapeutic intervention1,2. In cancer, genomic and proteomic biomarkers are us...
In order to expand the treatment options of cancers driven by oncogenic RAS, new cell surface targets need to be identified and characterized. Here, we describe mass spectrometry based phenot...
