anti-p62 Protein C terminus antibody

Useful for research in ubiquitin-associated degradation and autophagy and for detection of neurofibrillary tangles in the brain of Alzheimer disease patients, in Parkinson diseases and various chronic liver diseases. Human p62 protein, present in intracytoplasmic inclusions is found in many tissues and cells, serving probably a common cellular signal transduction mechanism.

Hantavirus

Increasing cases of Hantavirus infection in Germany - The statistics provided by the Robert Koch-Institut in the Epidemiologisches Bulletin Nr. 29 from July 26, 2010 confirm a strong rise of notified cases compared to last year. PROGEN offers tests for the serological diagnosis of hantavirus infection.

Hyperphage

an effective tool for the isolation of recombinant antibodies. Advantage over conventional methods:

• increases panning efficiency
• allows panning with reduced amount of panning antigen
• identifies high and low affinity binders

Plakophilin 2 antibodies

Plakophilin 2 is a member of the arm-repeat family of proteins and assembles with other proteins to form the desmosomal plaque in simple and glandular epithelia, the basal layer of certain stratified epithelia, all layers of some stratified epithelia, and desmosome possessing non-epithelial cells, e. g. myocardium.
