All antibodies generated within the HPA effort have been made available to the research community through the Atlas Antibodies portal (www.atlasantibodies.com). All antibodies have been validated by tissue profiling in more than 700 tissue samples and annotated by a certified pathologist. Several international efforts have been initiated to provide antibodies to the research community, and HPA has participated in many of these efforts, including the European Union framework program ProteomeBinders and the U.S. National Institutes of Health Protein Capture Reagents Program.
