Quick Overview for Recombinant EpCAM antibody (Extracellular Domain) (CF®640R) (ABIN7653592)

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

Antibody Type: Recombinant Antibody

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This EpCAM antibody is conjugated to CF®640R

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (fp))

Clone: EGP40-2041R

Product Details anti-EpCAM Antibody (CF®640R)

Binding Specificity: AA 100-224, Extracellular Domain

Purpose: EpCAM / CD326 (Epithelial Marker) (EGP40/2041R), CF640R conjugate

Characteristics: Epitope of this MAb is mapped between aa 202-212 of EGP40, which is a 40-43 kDa transmembrane epithelial glycoprotein, also identified as epithelial specific antigen (ESA), or epithelial cellular adhesion molecule (Ep-CAM). It is expressed on baso-lateral cell surface in most simple epithelia and a vast majority of carcinomas. Antibody to Ep-CAM has been used to distinguish adenocarcinoma from pleural mesothelioma and hepatocellular carcinoma. This antibody is also useful in distinguishing serous carcinomas of the ovary from mesothelioma. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.

Immunogen: Recombinant human EpCAM fragment from extracellular domain (around aa100-224)

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Higher concentration may be required for direct detection using primary antibody conjugates than for indirect detection with secondary antibody. Immunohistology (formalin): 0.5-1 μg/mL for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
