CPTC Seeks Prospective Partners with Monoclonal Antibodies to Cancer-Related Proteins
The CPTC is looking for a limited number of partners with monoclonal antibodies to cancer-related proteins to undergo rigorous characterization. The availability of these highly characterized reagents and the associated data for specific cancer-related proteins will add to the core resources available to the NCI CPTAC Network and will likely be invaluable tools to the entire proteomic community.
