How do you choose a secondary antibody for your experiment?

When choosing a secondary antibody for your experiment, consider the primary antibody you are using and select a secondary antibody that is specific to the species and isotype of the primary antibody. Additionally, ensure that the secondary antibody is compatible with the detection method you are using, such as fluorescence or enzyme-linked detection. Conducting a thorough literature review and consulting with colleagues or antibody suppliers can also help in selecting the most suitable secondary antibody for your experiment.
