Research Antibodies Market: Overview

Antibodies also called immunoglobulin are proteins prepared by B cells of the immune system. The antibodies recognize foreign substances or antigens and bind to the epitope regions of antigens and flag them for destruction. Thus it helps in protecting the body from foreign invasion. The antibodies can be constructed in the laboratory through recombinant DNA technology. The ability of immunoglobulin to recognize and bind to specific molecular structures or sequences makes it the ideal tool for cell research and protein function studies for the isolation of molecules of interest.

The demand for the research antibodies market is driven by increasing cell-based research and development activities, genomics and proteomics research for the development of new protein therapeutics, increasing acceptance of personalized medicine, growing collaborations between industries and academic institutes, increasing focus on new biomarker development, etc. However, time-intensive antibody development methods and cost are major factors that may restrain the market growth along with quality concerns. Emerging markets are expected to bring new growth opportunities for major manufacturers of research antibodies. Growth in the biopharmaceutical industry and increasing R&D spending in emerging markets may open new avenues for the research antibodies market.
