Cell Signaling Technology is an American manufacturer of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies for basic research, which are sold worldwide. The product focus is on post-translational protein modifications , signal transduction and v. a. phospho-specific antibodies.
history
Michael J. Comb from Detroit, born in 1927, studied at Wayne State University , Michigan and received his Ph.D. in epidemiology . Between 1961 and 1971 he held various positions at Harvard Medical School before he left his academic career and founded New England Biolabs in 1974. This company with about 150 employees, u. a. Nobel laureate Richard John Roberts is best known for their restriction enzymes , which are used in basic research. In 1999, the signal transduction group was founded by Michael J. Comb as an independent company, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. (CST).
Since 2007, the company has also maintained the PhosphoSitePlus website, which arose from a project financially supported by the NIH . This website provides a wealth of information on post-translational protein modifications for scientists worldwide.
In a 2011 Frost & Sullivan online survey of over 1100 The Scientist readers, CST received the best rating of all antibody producers.
The online platform Labome states that in 2012 around 20% of 10,100 scientific publications examined had used CST products.
