Catalog No. ABIN7865517

This Rabbit Monoclonal antibody specifically detects EpCAM in IHC. It exhibits reactivity toward Human.

Quick Overview for Recombinant EpCAM antibody (Extracellular Domain) (ABIN7865517)

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

Antibody Type: Recombinant Antibody

Reactivity: Human

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This EpCAM antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Clone: MSVA-326R

Product Details anti-EpCAM Antibody

Binding Specificity: AA 100-224, Extracellular Domain

Expression System: HEK-293 Cells

Purpose: Recombinant EpCAM / CD326 (Epithelial Marker) Antibody

Specificity: 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.

Purification: Ab produced in HEK293 cell mammalian-based expression system.

Immunogen: Recombinant fragment from the extracellular domain of human EpCAM protein (around aa100-224) (exact sequence is proprietary)

Isotype: IgG, kappa
