There are so many companies that sell abs.  If you know of any one who
subscribes to linscott's (it a antibody source database kinda thing that
can be searched) you should check there.  Otherwise, are the proteins
themselves available?  Is so maybe you could make some anti-sera with
rabbits or something like that.
good luck

I am not aware of any company that is selling antibodies against these
antigens. But things are developping fast, so there may some be around
somewhere. If so someone probably has used them in his research. The best
thing would be to do a Medline search (through Pubmed) on "pottasium
channel" and/or "KCNQ2" or KCNQ3". If something turns up the paper will
tell you were an antibody might be available. If not,  there probably isn't
any yet.
Good luck

Re channel antibodies - I have been recently looking into other channel
antibodies and have just received a "flyer" [catalog up-date] from Chemicon
"Antibodies for Channel Research" and there is an entire page of potassium
antibodies.  Perhaps contacting a representative from this company would
assist you in your search.  I have used several neurotransmitter/transporter
ab's from Chemicon with excellent result.  No, I don't work for this
company; but have been impressed with service, response to very specific
questions from their R & D dept and quality of products.  Good luck in your
search.
