Like many other laboratories with expertise with antibody production we have focused some urgent attention on the SARS-Cov2 virus and the ACE2 protein which it uses to enter and infect human cells. The region of the virus spike or S-protein and the corresponding virus binding region on the ACE2 protein were recently characterized so we […]

We add more goat antibodies to high value targets, namely to 2′-5′-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (CNP), GPCA-CNP, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) GPCA-GFAP, and mCherry GPCA-mCherry. Antibodies to CNP are excellent markers of myelin sheathes, GFAP antibodies label astrocytes, neural stem cells and a few other nervous system cells while mCherry is a widely used genetically […]

As every other company we have been affected over the last couple of months by the Covid-19 situation. However we continue to do essential work with reduced hours and remain open for business. We have been shipping to our various OEM partners as before, and, since the receiving departments of many university, company and research […]
February 2020 News
We release a new antibody to FOX3/NeuN, GPCA-FOX3, an excellent marker of neuronal nuclei and perikarya. The original NeuN antibody has been widely used to identify and count neurons since only these cells express this protein. The NeuN immunogen was found to correspond to the RNA binding protein FOX3, and our new antibody was made […]

January 2020 News Happy New Year! Although EnCor is primarily a commercial enterprise we still do have several ongoing interesting collaborations with academia. For instance we were involved in a recent high profile publication in molecular archaeology; a severed human head was found in surprisingly well preserved state in a pit in Heslington, near York, […]
December 2019 News
We have added more quantitative data about our various monoclonal antibodies, including several of the most widely used including our mouse monoclonals to fibrillarin (MCA-38F3 and MCA-4A4), also HSP60, (MCA-1C7), TDP43 (MCA-3H8) and several others. We also have new data on our widely used neurofilament NF-L antibodies (MCA-DA2 and MCA-7D1) and also phosphorylated neurofilament H […]

We are going to the 2019 Society for Neuroscience meeting in Chicago, so come by Booth 468 to get some pens, flashlights, posters and other free stuffs! We also continue to improve the characterization of our antibodies, so we now know both the epitopes and the kinetic properties of an increasing number, for example see […]
August 2019 News
We add new high quality antibodies to the extreme C-terminal peptide of neurofilament NF-L, a rabbit polyclonal RPCA-NF-L-ct. This antibody was made against the extreme C-terminal peptide of rat NF-L coupled to KLH, so the epitopic region is known. This rabbit antibody binds to all mammalian NF-L molecules tested to date. After we epitope mapped […]

We add a novel chicken polyclonal antibody which recognizes the neuron specific enolase (NSE), a.k.a. enolase 2 or γ enolase, CPCA-NSE. This recognizes NSE cleanly on western blots and binds neurons and their processes in immunofluorescense experiments. This is a complement to our rabbit polyclonal antibody to NSE, RPCA-NSE and our epitope mapped and highly […]
March 2019 News
We continue with our program of epitope mapping our most widely used mouse monoclonal antibodies. We now add epitope information to the data sheet for our widely used monoclonal antibody to ubiquitin, MCA-Ubi-1. The epitope for this antibody maps to a peptide which is conserved in the ubiquitin molecule expressed in every important model organism […]
January 2019 News
January 2019 News Happy New Year! We continue to develop an ever better characterization of our antibodies and to add new reagents to our portfolio. For example we mapped the epitopes of our widely used antibodies to fibrillarin, MCA-38F3 and MCA-4A4, to two different peptides in the highly conserved fibrillarin domain of the human molecule, […]

We now have a catalog ready for downloading, select here. It’s a big catalog with a lot of high resolution images, so downloading may take some time. Also our founder was recently interviewed at the new Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville Florida. The interview was about the history of EnCor biotechnology and […]
September 2018 News
We release yet more antibodies! While we were upgrading our website quite a backlog built up, so we are releasing an unusual number of new reagents this month. We previously generated a rabbit polyclonal antibody to adenylate cyclase III (ACIII), RPCA-ACIII, which is an excellent marker of neuronal cilia in human and rodent cells and […]
August 2018 News
We release two new goat polyclonal antibodies to add to our goat antibody to MAP2, GPCA-MAP2, namely to the mesenchymal and CNS intermediate filament protein vimentin, GPCA-Vim and to green fluorescent protein GPCA-GFP. Also mouse monoclonals to GFP MCA-3B11 and MCA-1F1, also a rabbit polyclonal antibody to the same protein RPCA-GFP. Also purified recombinant GFP […]
July 2018 News
We release a new antibody to MAP2A/B made in goat, useful for identifying neurons and their dendrites in cell culture and sectioned material, GPCA-MAP2. Since this is made in goat it can be used on transgenic mice along with one or other of our rabbit or chicken antibodies for double or triple labeling. We also […]
April 2018 News
Since we spent a lot of time updating our website we did not get round to posting information about several new antibodies now available for shipping. There is new rabbit polyclonal antibody to galectin-3, RPCA-Gal3, an interesting multifunctional protein. There is a new chicken polyclonal antibody to secretagogin, a small Calcium binding protein expressed in […]
March 2018 News
We finally get done with updating our web site, after several months of playing around with it, so we hope you like it! We have made an excellent rabbit polyclonal antibody to IBA1 (a.k.a. AIF1), RPCA-IBA1. The IBA1 protein is heavily expressed in microglia but not in neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes or other kinds of CNS […]

We went to the largest Neuroscience meeting in the world, the Society for Neuroscience 2017 meeting in Washington DC, 11th – 15th November. We, along with about 35,000 other nerds, had a great time, lots of interactions with lots of researchers and other companies, and there was a lot of interest in our products. See […]
