Quick Overview for EpCAM antibody (FITC) (ABIN457357)

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

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This EpCAM antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS)

Clone: VU-1D9

Product Details anti-EpCAM Antibody (FITC)

Purpose: Anti-Hu CD326 FITC

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 fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free fluorochrome are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Immunogen: Small cell lung carcinoma cell line H69.

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Flow cytometry: The reagent is designed for analysis of human blood cells using 20 μL reagent / 100 μL of whole blood or 10⁶ cells in a suspension. The content of a vial (2 ml) is sufficient for 100 tests.

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

Alternative Name: CD326

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
