AGO2 antibody | knockout validation | Sigma SAB4200085

This is a knockout-validated antibody summary, based on the publication "An Argonaute phosphorylation cycle promotes microRNA-mediated silencing", as cited below [1]. The antibody was also validated for Western blot in another article "Reactivity of human AGO2 monoclonal antibody 11A9 with the SWI/SNF complex: A case study for rigorously defining antibody selectivity" [2]. Labome curates formal publications to compile a list of antibodies with unambiguous specificity within Validated Antibody Database (VAD).
