Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank (DSHB)

028 BBE

The Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank (DSHB) was established by the National Institutes of Health in 1986 to supply research investigators worldwide with low cost monoclonal antibodies for studies in developmental and cell biology.

  • The DSHB has continued to expand its collection through contributions by researchers.
  • Over 3,500 monoclonal antibodies are offered by the DSHB.
  • Antibodies may be ordered as tissue culture supernatant, concentrate, or ascites fluid.
  • Selected hybridomas available as frozen or growing cells.
