In May 2011, it acquired Mitosciences of Eugene, Oregon, a leading developer of antibodies and assays for mitochondrial research. In September 2011, Abcam acquired Ascent Biochemicals (now called AbcamBiochemicals) of Bristol, Uk, a specialist supplier of biochemical reagents including bioactive small molecules. In September 2012, Abcam acquired Epitomics of Burlingame, California. This has given Abcam access to Epitomics range of RabMAbs® rabbit monoclonal antibodies. In 2015, Abcam acquired AxioMx for its in vitro monoclonal antibody production technology and Firefly BioWorks for its multiplex and assay technology. Abcam acquired Calico Biolabs to expand recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody development, and to enhance custom solutions capabilities in January 2019. Abcam purchased Applied StemCell's gene editing platform and oncology product portfolio in January 2020.
Abcam antibodies have been cited frequently in the literature. Labome manually reviews formal publications for information about antibody applications and about applications of other reagents and instruments. Table 2 lists the commonly cited Abcam antibodies in the literature.
Abcam antibodies have been used in a range of applications as illustrated by the following examples. JH Lee et al used KDM1/LSD1 antibody ( ab129195, clone EPR6825) and Rab5 antibody ( ab218624, clone EPR21801) to study autophagic build-up of Aβ in neurons [57]. AR Palla et al detected myofibers in CODEX imaging with an Abcam laminin antibody [58]. H Hu et al investigated arteriovenous fistula maturation through immunohistochemistry with Abcam antibodies against alpha actin ( ab5694), VWF ( ab11713), collagen 1 ( ab34710), and fibronectin ( ab2413) [59]. Moro A et al detected stathmin in Western blot and immunocytochemistry in HUVEC cells with Abcam rabbit recombinant monoclonal Stathmin 1 antibody clone EP1573Y ( ab52630) [60]. Pandolfini L et al immunopurified myc-tagged DROSHA from transfected HEK293T cells with Abcam anti-Myc tag mouse monoclonal antibody ( ab32) and protein G [61]. Kreutzberger AJB et al probed the lysates of S2R+ cells transfected with a GFP-tagged plasmid using a recombinant rabbit anti-GFP ( ab32146) antibody from Abcam in Western blots [62]. Fanning S et al identified SCD1 in western blots with Abcam ab19862 antibody [63]. Researchers sometimes collaborate with Abcam to develop antibodies. For example, Z Zhou et al developed the rabbit monoclonal antibody against the N-terminal domain of GSDMB ( ab215729) with Abcam [64]. One of the popular polyclonal antibodies from Abcam is anti-GFP antibody from chicken ab13970 [65] or anti-HA antibody from rabbits ab9110 [66].
In addition to antibodies, Abcam's assay kits, such as AST assay, hydroxyproline assay, free fatty acid quantification assay etc, are gaining popularity.
Abcam's team attend a wide range of scientific meetings around the world to meet with the research community and stay up to date with the latest scientific developments. A list of the meetings that Abcam will be attending is available on the 'Events' tab of the Abcam homepage. Abcam also invites requests from researchers to organise and co-chair scientific meetings (see: Abcam tradeshow).
