EGFR antibody

• Catalog Number: orb348922
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: Rabbit monoclonal antibody to EGFR
• Species/Host: Human
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Clone Number: Matuzumab
• Tested applications: Blocking, ELISA, FC, IF, WB
• Reactivity: Human

• Storage: Store at 4°C for up to 3 months. For longer storage, aliquot and store at -20°C.
• Buffer/Preservatives: PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
• Alternative names: ErbB-1; ERBB1; HER1; EGF; Epidermal growth factor
• Note: For research use only
• Application notes: This antibody is derived from a mouse parental clone mAb 425 which has demonstrated anti-tumor activity against solid tumors in phase I clinical trials. The binding characterization of this antibody to human EGFR was done using ELISA. This antibody was also found to bind human EGFR with a similar avidity as the parental mouse antibody 425 (PMID: 1798701). The parental mouse antibody 425 in combination with C225 (Cetuximab) reduced growth and survival of EGFR overexpressing MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells more effectively than either antibody alone. The combination was also reported to effectively inhibited AKT and MAPK phosphorylation in MDA-MB-468 cell (PMID: 18424917). This antibody was used in a phase 1 study to investigate the safety and tolerability and to explore the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile in patients with solid tumors that express EGFR (PMID: 14701780). This antibody has been used in various phase I studies alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents to treat patients with various type of cancers (PMID: 16533873; 16622465; 19238629). A study reported that the antitumor effects of matuzumab and cetuximab depend on inhibition of EGFR downstream signaling mediated by Akt or Erk rather than on inhibition of EGFR itself (PMID: 18033688).
