Antibodies for Oncology

Oncology is the study of cancer: the origins and molecular biology of tumor cells, mechanisms of oncogenesis, and the interaction between tumor cells and the immune and stromal cells of the tumor microenvironment.

Cancer can be characterized by dysregulated signaling, growth, metabolism, and death of cells. Some types of cancer are driven by known genetic mutations, while other tumor types are of unknown origin. Understanding the phenotype, lineage, and tissue origin of tumor cells helps determine the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Cancer cells also manipulate their local microenvironment, leading to suppression of the immune response, increased angiogenesis, and niche formation/metastasis.

Fortis Life Sciences® offers an extensive catalog of antibodies for detecting tumor, stromal, and immune cell markers for oncology research. Our antibodies are manufactured on-site and guaranteed to work in the indicated application, including multiplex assay platforms.
