To every worm-breeder who ever made an antibody:
We have contineous debates in our lab (based more on speculations than on
real facts) about which antibodies work better (or at all) on C.elegans
whole mount stains: antibodies raised against fusionproteins (GST, MBP
etc.) or antibodies raised against synthetic peptides.
Could everybody who ever made an antibody and tried it on worms send me a
note whether a anti-fusion antibody worked or didn't work or an
anti-peptide antibody worked or didn't work. I will assemble all answers
into a "statistic" and send it around.
Thanks all,
Oliver
