Aquaporin-8 Antibodies

AND AQP8 ELISA kits, Aquaporin-8 Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Aquaporin-8, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Aquaporin-8 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Aquaporin-8 antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to Aquaporin-8 by testing them on tissues known to express AQP8 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the AQP8 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 3 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Designing a Western blot for Aquaporin-8? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
