EPCAM Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: VU-1D9]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	VU-1D9
Applications	FC
Recommend Dilution	Flow Cytometry (Cell Surface): Use antibody at 5 µl/test/106 cells (0.2 µg).
Reactivity	Human
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Small cell lung carcinoma cells.
Specificity	This antibody is specific for CD326, also known as Ep-CAM. EGP40 is a 40-43kDa 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. This antibody 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. Cellular Localization: Cell surface. Negative Species: Rat.

Background	Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (Ep-CAM), a 38kD cell surface antigen otherwise known as CD326, MOC31 and Ber-EP4. CD326 is a type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein. It is expressed on the basolateral cell membrane of the majority of epithelial tissues, with the exception of adult squamous epithelium, hepatocytes and gastric epithelial cells. Ep-CAM expression has been reported to be a possible marker of early malignancy, with expression being increased in tumour cells.
Synonyms	Ep-CAM, Epithelial cell adhesion molecule, GA733-2, EGP314, KSA, TROP1, Trop-1, M1S2, M4S1, MIC18
