Dear friends and colleagues, We need YOU, and actually maybe we can help YOU. In our studies, we heavily rely on antibodies and we all know that the commercial antibodies to mammalian proteins are not always useful. We have a solution ! Fortunately recombinant antibodies against Dictyostelium proteins are generated at the Geneva Antibody Facility, and are accessible to the entire community. Pierre’s favorites are anti-Phg1A and anti-Far1 antibodies, Thierry favors anti-VacA. Which one will be your favorite ? As part of the Dictyostelium annual conference and as a community activity, we propose to select protein targets against which antibodies will be developed by the Geneva Antibody Facility. This activity is supported by our conference sponsors and notably by the University of Geneva. To make this contest fun and a success, we need to establish a short list of candidate proteins. What would be the most useful antibodies for the Dictyostelium community ? And for YOU ? Send your favorites (with UNIPROT numbers, please) to Wanessa ([log in to unmask]). Looking forward to seeing y’all again soon. The Cosson and Soldati teams PS: Not registered to the conference yet? Don’t miss the June 15 deadline for an early registration fee with 10% discount.
