The ABCD (AntiBodies Chemically Defined) Database
The ABCD (AntiBodies Chemically Defined) database is a manually curated depository of sequenced antibodies, developed by
the
Geneva Antibody Facility
at the University of Geneva, in collaboration with the
CALIPHO
and
Swiss-Prot
groups at
SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics
.
The ABCD database is part of a broader project, with the mission of promoting the widespread use of recombinant antibodies by academic researchers and, ultimately, the replacement of animal-produced antibodies. This concerted effort also includes the Geneva Antibody Facility (for discovery and production of antibodies) and the scientific journal Antibody Reports (publishing technical articles on antibody characterization).
Release information: Version 14.0 (January 2024)
26’410 sequenced antibodies, against 4'292 different targets
