EGFR Rat Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: ICR10]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	ICR10
Applications	FC
Recommend Dilution	Flow Cytometry: Use 10 µl of antibody to label 10e6 cells in 100 µl (1/10 dilution).
Reactivity	Human
Host	Rat
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Extracellular domain of human EGF-receptor from head and neck carcinoma
Specificity	This antibody recognises the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGF-R), which is over expressed in a high proportion of breast cancer cells and in a range of other carcinomas. High level expression of EGFR is often associated with advanced disease and poor prognosis. The antibody binds to epitope B from EGFR (1,2).
Formulation	PBS, pH 7.4 containing 0.09% Sodium Azide as preservative and 1% BSA as stabilizer. Label: FITC State: Liquid purified IgG fraction. Label: Fluorescein Isothiocyanate Isomer 1
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Ion Exchange Chromatography.
Conjugation	FITC
Storage Condition	Store the antibody undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. This product is photosensitive and should be protected from light. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Gene Name	epidermal growth factor receptor
Database Link	Entrez Gene 1956 Human UniProt ID P00533
Background	EGF Receptor (EGFR) and erbB2, erbB3, and ErbB4 are members of subclass I of receptor tyrosine kinases. EGFR/erbB receptors are activated upon binding of EGF and EGF-related growth factors such as TGF alpha, beta-cellulin, Hb-EGF, HRG, or NRG. Binding of these ligands leads to receptor homo- and heterodimerization followed by autophosphorylation and activation of downstream signal transduction pathways (MAPK, PI3K/PKB, and STAT). In addition, EGFR becomes fully activated after phosphorylation of Y845 by src family kinases. Phosphorylation of Y1045 leads to association with cbl and subsequent receptor degradation. Phosphorylation of S1047 by CamKinase II leads to attenuation of kinase activity; phosphorylation of T654 (by PKC) and T669 (by MAPK, p38) interferes with receptor endocytosis/recycling.
Synonyms	Epidermal growth factor receptor, EGF Receptor, erbB-1, c-ErbB-1
