EGFR antibody (Extracellular Domain)

Catalog No. ABIN118950

Product Details anti-EGFR Antibody

Target: EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR))

Binding Specificity: Extracellular Domain

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This EGFR antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Specificity: This antibody recognises the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R), which is over expressed in a high proportion of breast cancer cells and in a range of other carcinomas. High level expression of EGFR is often associated with advanced disease and poor prognosis. This antibody binds to epitope B from EGFR (1, 2) and has an affinity of 6.7 x 10e-9 M.

Purification: Ion exchange chromatography

Immunogen: Extracellular domain of human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) from head and neck carcinoma.

Clone: ICR10

Isotype: IgG2a

Application Details

Application Notes: Immunoprecipitation. Western blotting. Flow cytometry: 1/50 - 1/100, Use 10 μL of the suggested working dilution to label 10^6 cells in 100 μL. Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections. Recommended positive control: Breast carcinoma.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Background: Protein kinases are enzymes that transfer a phosphate group from a phosphate donor onto an acceptor amino acid in a substrate protein. By this basic mechanism, protein kinases mediate most of the signal transduction in eukaryotic cells, regulating cellular metabolism, transcription, cell cycle progression, cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell movement, apoptosis, and differentiation. The protein kinase family is one of the largest families of proteins in eukaryotes, classified in 8 major groups based on sequence comparison of their tyrosine (PTK) or serine/threonine (STK) kinase catalytic domains. Epidermal Growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the prototype member of the type 1 receptor tyrosine kinases. EGFR overexpression in tumors indicates poor prognosis and is observed in tumors of the head and neck, brain, bladder, stomach, breast, lung, endometrium, cervix, vulva, ovary, esophagus, stomach and in squamous cell carcinoma.Synonyms: EGF Receptor, Epidermal growth factor receptor, Proto-oncogene c-ErbB-1, Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase erbB-1, c-ErbB-1, erbB-1
