(Leidos Biomed), current operator of the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research (FNLCR), to develop custom monoclonal antibodies to novel cancer targets for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Antibody Program. "Kemp Proteins is very excited to contribute to this fantastic resource for cancer researchers." - Mike Keefe, CEO, Kemp Proteins Central to reproducibility in biomedical research is being able to use well-characterized and defined reagents. The overall objective of the NCI Antibody Program is to produce well-characterized fit for purpose antibodies for use by the research community. The clones to be provided by Kemp Protiens are screened to select those antibodies best suited for intended applications. All selected antibodies are further characterized using methods such as Western Blot, Affinity Measurements, Immuno Precipitation, Immunohistochemistry, Immunofluorescence and Reverse Phase Programmable Protein Array. All reagents and characterization data are made available at the NCI Antibody Portal (https://antibodies.cancer.gov). Kemp Proteins has been selected to assist in this objective by developing monoclonal antibodies against select cancer associated targets. To date, there are 943 antibodies to 567 antigen targets available on the NCI Antibody Portal.
