Concerning but not really surprising. They offer about hundred thousand antibodies, a few hundred frauds is likely the tip of the iceberg.

> “Similar image” searches using Google Lens, Bing Images or DuckDuckGo betray hundreds more that we have yet to document

In my experience these would return any image of an antibody PCR, not just the exactly matching background. Would be curious to hear others thoughts.
