    We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody.
    Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.

SDPHP4m), DIV4. The cells were fixed with 100% MeOH (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X-100 (in PBS) for 5 mins and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab33922 at 0.2 μg/ml and Anti-GFAP antibody - Astrocyte Marker ab4674, Anti-GFAP antibody, at 1/1000 dilution. Cells were then incubated with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150081, Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and Goat Anti-Chicken IgY H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) preadsorbed ab150176, Goat Anti-Chicken IgY H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
    Images were acquired with the Perkin Elmer Operetta HCA and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown. The antibody ab33922 gave comparable results using 4% formaldehyde fixation (10 min).
