Bjorkman Lab - Monoclonal Antibodies


[A useful place to search for MAbs: The Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank]

We have submitted most of our hybridomas to the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Below is a brief summary of each antibody and a link to the ATCC page that describes how to order each hybridoma and how to grow it.

If you need any other reagents from our lab, please send an e-mail to Pamela Bjorkman - (bjorkman[at]caltech.edu) with:
