EpCAM antibody (APC)

Catalog No. ABIN1302618

Product Details anti-EpCAM Antibody (APC)

Target: EpCAM (EPCAM) (Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EPCAM))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This EpCAM antibody is conjugated to APC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Specificity: The mouse monoclonal antibody VU-1D9 recognizes an extracellular epitope within EGF-like domain I of CD326 / EpCAM, a marker of epithelial lineages. This antibody strongly stains various normal epithelial cells and carcinomas.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human, Other species Not tested

Purification: Purified antibody is conjugated with activated allophycocyanin (APC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: Small cell lung carcinoma cell line H69.

Clone: VU-1D9

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 10 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 10⁶ cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (1 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.

Comment:

The purified antibody is conjugated with cross-linked Allophycocyanin (APC) under optimum conditions. The conjugate is purified by size-exclusion chromatography and adjusted for direct use. No reconstitution is necessary.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Buffer: Stabilizing phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, 15 mM sodium azide

Preservative: Sodium azide

Precaution of Use: This product contains Sodium azide: a POISONOUS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE which should be handled by trained staff only.

Handling Advice: Avoid prolonged exposure to light.
Do not use after expiration date stamped on vial label.
Short-term exposure to room temperature should not affect the quality of the reagent. However, if reagent is stored under any conditions other than those specified, the conditions must be verified by the user.

Target Details for EpCAM

Target: EpCAM (EPCAM) (Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EPCAM))

Alternative Name: CD326 / EpCAM (EPCAM Products)

Background: Epithelial cell adhesion molecule,CD326 / EpCAM (also known as ESA, EGP40, EGP-2, KSA1/4, CO17-1A, GA733-2, MOC31, Ber-EP4) is a 40 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein serving as adhesion molecule in the basolateral membranes in a variety of epithelial cells. CD326 mediates calcium-independent homotypic cell-cell adhesions. CD326 over-expression has been detected in many epithelial tumours and is often associated with bad prognosis. It has been used for diagnostics of (pre-) malignancies at early stages.,EPCAM, GA733-2, EGP314, KSA, KS 1/4 antigen, Trop-1, M4S1, DIAR5, MIC18, TROP1
