| Application | Abbreviation | Description |
| Activation | Activ | Induce the normal resting state cell to active state. |
| Blocking | Block | Use the cell-surface targeted antibody to block a biological response |
| Cell Separation | Separation | Separate the defined cells population using magnetic nanoparticles either by positive ornegative selection. |
| Cell Separation byNegative Selection | Cell Sep-Neg | Separate the defined cell population using magnetic nanoparticles by negative selection,also called depletion. |
| Depletion | Depletion | In vivo, refers to injecting the antibody to deplete targeted cell types.In vitro, refers to adding the antibody in culture to deplete target cells. |
| Functional Assay | FA | Use the cell-surface targeted antibody to induce, modify, or block a biological response.Can also be applied to use the antibody to measure a functional activity within a cell. |
| Neutralization | Neut | Use the antibody to Neutralize the soluble factor. |
| Stimulation | Stim | Use the antibody to induce the measurable cellular response. |
| Flow Cytometry | FCM | Flow cytometric analysis of surface-stained cells. |
| Intracellular Staining forFlow Cytometry | ICFCM | Flow cytometric analysis of intracellularly-stained cells. |
| Western Blotting | WB | Use the gel electrophoresis to separate proteins by molecular weight, followed bydetectionwith an antibody. |
| Immunohistochemistry | IHC | Analyze the antibody-labeled tissue preparations, typically frozen or paraffin-embedded. |
| Immunofluorescence | IF | Analyze the fluorescently-labeled cells or tissue with the Microscopic examination |
| Immunoprecipitation | IP | Use the antibody to precipitate the target protein from solution. |
