EGF Receptor / EGFRvIII Antibody

• Catalog Number: orb606694
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: EGFR is type I receptor tyrosine kinase with sequence homology to erbB-1, -2, -3 -4 or HER-1, -2, -3 -4. It binds to Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), Transforming Growth Factor-a (TGF-a), Heparin-binding EGF (HB-EGF), amphiregulin, betacellulin and epiregulin. EGFR is overexpressed in tumors of breast, brain, bladder, lung, gastric, head & neck, esophagus, cervix, vulva, ovary, and endometrium. It is predominantly present in squamous cell carcinomas.
• Clonality: Recombinant
• Species/Host: Rabbit
• Isotype: Rabbit IgG, kappa
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Reactivity: Human
• Immunogen: Amino acids LEEKKGNYVVTDHC were used as the immunogen for the recombinant EGFRvIII antibody. This is the predicted sequence of the exon 2-7 delete fusion region.
• UniProt ID: P00533
• Tested applications: IHC-P
• Dilution range: Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT,Prediluted IHC only format : incubate for 30 min at RT (1)
• Application notes: Titering of the recombinant EGFRvIII antibody may be required for optimal performance.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Clone Number: GFR/2600R
• Formula: 0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide
• Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
• Research Area: Cancer, Developmental Biology, Epigenetics, Infect
• Note: For research use only
