ApoE, Abcam, ab51015

Our team has carried out deep research in the published scientific literature to identify papers and reports using antibodies directed against human Apolipoprotein E and followed up by extraction and evaluation of the available data to assess its performance according to pAbmAbs rating criteria.

YCharOS is here conducting a large head-to-head study comparing 14 commercial research antibodies against human Apolipoprotein E encoded by APOE.

The collection of antibodies was tested using HAP1 WT and APOE KO cells in the applications WB (WT and KO culture media/30 µg protein) and IP (WT culture media) according to YCharOS standard protocols (see reference).

In WB (1:1000 Ab dilution) ab51015 detected no band of appr. 36 kDa in WT or KO culture media. A strong high molecular weight band were detected in culture media of both genotypes. A band was also detected following IP (2 µg Ab used). This band was markedly more concentrated compared to input extract (3% of starting material).

We highly encourage other scientists to share their observations.
