Description: Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) elicits a variety of cellular responses that are initiated by EGF Receptor (EGFR) binding and activation of intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. EGFR, also known as ErbB1 or HER1, is a member of the ErbB class of receptor protein tyrosine kinases. It has an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a single transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic region containing a protein tyrosine kinase domain and a c-terminal regulatory domain with many phosphorylation sites. Following ligand binding, EGFR forms homodimers and heterodimers with ErbB2. Specific C-terminal tyrosine residues are then autophosphorylated and, in turn, bind to adaptor proteins, kinases, or protein tyrosine phosphatases. Specifically, phosphorylated tyrosine 1173 (Y1173) interacts with Shc, SHP1, and PLCg, which mediate downstream signaling cascades and negative feedback regulation of EGFR activation. Inappropriate expression or mutations of EGFR and/or deregulation of its signaling pathways are associated with many types of cancer, making EGFR a promising target for cancer therapies.
The 9H2 monoclonal antibody recognizes the phosphorylated Y1173 in the regulatory domain of human EGFR.

Characteristics: 1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
2. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
3. Please refer to us for technical protocols.

Images

Western blot analysis of EGF Receptor (pY1173) in human epidermis (left figure). Lysates from control (first panel) and EGF-treated (second panel) human A-431 epidermoid carcinoma were probed with the purified mouse anti-EGF Receptor (pY1173) monoclonal antibody at concentrations of 0.4 µg/mL, 0.2 µg/mL, and 0.1 µg/mL (lanes 1, 2, and 3, respectively). EGF Receptor (pY1173) is identified as a band of 175 kDa in the treated cells.

Immunohistochemical analysis for EGF Receptor (pY1173) staining on tonsil (right figure). Fresh human tonsil was incubated in 5 mM Pervanadate solution for 2 hours, then fixed in formalin and processed. Following antigen retrieval with BD Retrievagen A buffer, the sections were either left untreated (first panel) or treated with a phosphatase to eliminate all phosphorylation (second panel). The tissue sections were stained with purified Mouse anti-EGF Receptor (pY1173) with Hematoxylin counterstaining. No staining was seen on sections of unstimulated tonsil (data not shown). Original magnification: 20X.
