May 2020 News

      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 […]

October 2019 News

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 […]

April 2019 News

      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, […]

October 2018 News

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 […]
