Validation requires a three-phase approach:
Epitope Mapping: Compare antibody binding against recombinant OsI_19565 protein fragments using Western blot (12% SDS-PAGE)
Cross-Reactivity Testing: Include negative controls with japonica subspecies proteins (e.g., Q5Z974, Q0JA29)
Functional Knockdown Correlation: Measure antibody signal reduction in CRISPR/Cas9-edited Oryza lines (≥3 biological replicates)
