Welcome to NeuroMab!

A national monoclonal antibody-generating resource funded by NIH

Generates novel monoclonal antibodies (NeuroMabs) for neuroscience and other fields of basic biomedical research

NeuroMabs are validated for biochemical and immunohistochemical applications in mammalian brain

Provides low cost, high quality mouse monoclonal antibodies to the research community

Many ongoing projects and new developments so check back frequently for new NeuroMabs

See suggestion page for details on how to suggest a future NeuroMab project

See publications list for peer-reviewed papers (now over 1000 publications citing NeuroMab!) showing data obtained with NeuroMabs

The UC Davis/NIH NeuroMab Facility is a cooperative venture among the University of California at Davis, the National Institute for Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the National Institute for Mental Health, the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research, the NIH Roadmap for Medical Research, the NIH Office of Rare Diseases Research, and Antibodies Incorporated.

For recent review articles on issues of antibody quality in biomedical research that are directly relevant to our mission see Saper, 2005; Rhodes & Trimmer, 2006; Couchman, 2009; and Bordeaux et al., 2010.

Optimize staining with NeuroMabs and other mouse monoclonal antibodies by employing appropriate subclass-specific secondary antibodies. See article here.
