Interestingly, several companies selling c-fos antibodies are
currently out of stock - including Cambridge Research Biochemicals
and Oncogene Sciences. One quote is "the Fos community is in an
uproar!" they claim they are re-immunizing new animals. Santa Cruz
Biotechnology and Quality Biotech (distrubutors of National Cancer
Institute monoclonals) are shipping. Caveat - all antibodies are
individual and recognize different parts of the sequence. Fos is
getting pretty popular these days. BTW, a good resource when you
are looking for antibodies is the Linscott Directory.
