Anti Catechin mAb (Clone b-1058)

The world's first Catechin-recognizing antibody has been added to the Cosmobio Antibody Collection (CAC). Catechin is a polyphenol that is abundant in green tea. It has been reported to possess antioxidant, anticancer, antibacterial and antiallergic activities. Catechin comprises the following compounds: Epicatechin gallate (ECg), gallocatechin gallate (GCg), catechin gallate (Cg), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), gallocatechin (GC), epigallocatechin (EGC), catechin (C), epicatechin (EC). Cone b-1058 antibody reacts with epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallete (ECg), epigallocatechin gallete (EGCg), gallocatechin (GC), catechin gallete (Cg) and gallocatechin gallete (GCg). It reacts especially well with gallocatechin gallete (GCg) and epigallocatechin gallete (EGCg).
