Large-scale generation and validation of protein capture reagents is a technical challenge, with validation being a critical iterative process that yields different results for different uses. Independent community-based validation offers the possibility of transparent data sharing.
Large-scale generation of protein capture reagents remains a technical challenge, but their generation is just the beginning. Validation is a critical, iterative process that yields different results for different uses. Independent, community-based validation offers the possibility of transparent data sharing, with use case-specific results made broadly available. This type of resource, which can grow as new validation data are obtained for an expanding group of reagents, provides a community resource that should accompany future reagent-generating efforts. To address a pressing need for antibodies or other reagents that recognize human proteins, the National Institutes of Health Common Fund launched the Protein Capture Reagents Program in 2010 as a pilot to target human transcription factors. Here, we describe lessons learned from this program concerning generation and validation of research reagents, which we believe are generally applicable for future research endeavors working in a similar space.
