CST was also Highly Commended in CiteAb's Antibody Supplier of the Year category
Danvers, MA, USA, May 4, 2023 – Cell Signaling Technology (CST), a life science discovery technology company and leading provider of antibodies, kits, and services, today announced that it was recognized in three categories in the 2023 CiteAb Awards, which highlight the best suppliers and individuals in the research reagent sector worldwide.
CST was recognized in the following categories:
CST® anti-CAR linker antibodies fill a critical gap in the development of immuno-oncology treatments. CAR-T cell therapy is a revolutionary new cancer treatment that uses the patient's own immune cells to target their tumor. However, to ensure the treatment effectiveness, unique CAR-T detection reagents are needed to monitor CAR surface expression during pre-clinical research.
By targeting the linker sequence used in CAR-T cells, anti-CAR linker antibodies are a powerful tool to facilitate, accelerate, and standardize cell therapy research and development by eliminating the lengthy and expensive process of designing specific reagents to target individual CAR surface receptors. Designed and validated by CST scientists working on the cutting edge of research, this innovative technology enables the faster, more cost-effective development of life-saving cancer treatments.
Dr Andrew Chalmers, CEO and founder of CiteAb said, "We are thrilled to award Cell Signaling Technology with the Innovation Award for this product. Anti-CAR linker antibodies have the potential to create a really positive impact in cancer research. We were really excited to learn more about how the product has offered a solution to challenges in this field.”
PTMs, such as phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitylation, and others, are vital ways in which proteins communicate within cells. Understanding signaling pathways and developing sensitive, reliable anti-PTM antibodies have been a core focus of CST's research and development since the company's founding, and the company provides antibodies to detect PTMs at multiple locations on a given protein. CST is also the developer of the PhosphoSitePlus® database, a free, online resource with human-curated data about PTMs and their locations for thousands of proteins.
Rhys Williams, Senior Product Manager for CiteAb antibody data, said: "By producing quality PTM antibodies, Cell Signaling Technology is helping to support research into cell biology and disease, with examples ranging from neurodegenerative diseases, to cancer and heart disease. We want to extend a massive congratulations to Cell Signaling Technology for their win in this award!”
CST has a long history of strong performance in awards and recognition by CiteAb, including being named the Antibody Supplier of the Decade in 2020, as well as the Supplier Succeeding in Cancer Research and Recombinant Antibody Supplier of the Year in 2022. Additionally, according to CiteAb's most recent Top 100 Cited Antibodies report, eight of the 12 most-cited antibodies are from CST, and over one-third of the list are CST products-more than any other supplier.
