     Keith,

     Vendors will supply you with cross-reactivity charts for their
     antibodies either with their catalogs or by request when you call
     them.  We have had good luck with Genzyme diagnostics and
     VMRD(Veterinay Medical R&D).  The same antibody will cross-react
     differntly from company to company, so many times trial and error with
     different companies' antibodies is necessary to get the desired
     result.

I was wondering if anyone had seen a reference which listed antibody
cross-reactivity between species? I know quite often labs must use trial
and error to find out what works. It seems that much time could be saved if
a database was compiled listing which clones would or would not work in
multiple species?

Seen anything?

If not, does anyone have any server space?? :-)
