MDH1, Abcam, ab180152

Our team has carried out deep research in the published scientific literature to identify papers and reports using antibodies directed against human Malate dehydrogenase 1 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 13 commercial research antibodies against human Malate dehydrogenase 1 encoded by MDH1.

The collection of antibodies was tested using HAP1 WT and MDH1 KO cells in the applications WB (WT and KO cell lysates/20 µg protein), IP (WT cell lysate) and IF (WT and KO cells) according to YCharOS standard protocols (see reference).

In WB (1:10000 Ab dilution) ab180152 detected a band of appr. 37 kDa in WT cell lysate with no corresponding band observed in KO cell lysate. A band was also detected following IP (2 µg Ab used). This band was less intense than the corresponding band in input extract (4% of starting material). In IF (1:100 Ab dilution), a clearer intense staining was observed in WT cells with no background staining in KO cells.

We highly encourage other scientists to share their observations.
