Rab7A, Synaptic Systems, 320 003

Our team has carried out deep research in the published scientific literature to identify papers and reports using antibodies directed against human Rab7A 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 Rab7A encoded by RAB7A.

The collection of antibodies was tested using HeLa WT and RAB7A KO cells in the applications WB (WT and KO cell lysates/40 µg protein), IP (WT cell lysate) and IF (WT and KO cells) according to YCharOS standard protocols (see reference).

In WB (1:1000 ab dilution) 320 003 detected no band of interest. No band was detected following IP (2 µg Ab used). In IF (1:500 ab dilution), KO cells showed a stronger staining compared to WT cells.

We highly encourage other scientists to share their observations.
