Identifying Reliable Antibodies for Use in Immuno-oncology Research
Identifying reliable antibodies for use in immuno-oncology research is critical to address its recent growth and rapid expansion into clinical trials as mistakes in antibody validation impact patient health and wellbeing. Dr. Brian McWilliams, Product Manager at Fortis Life Sciences, discusses the expanding need for validated antibodies in immuno-oncology.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the significance of antibody validation, including its needs and challenges
- Gain insight into the antibody industry validation approach and learn steps to validate antibodies in your lab
- How a collaborative approach to validation between researchers and manufacturers presents the best opportunity for long-term solutions
This webinar was originally presented at the Immuno-Oncology 2021 virtual event on the expanding need for validated antibodies.
