c-erbB-2 is a membrane-associated oncoprotein having considerable sequence homology to EGFR.
C-erbB-2 is the second member of the EGF receptor tyrosine kinase family of growth factor receptors.
Overexpression of c-erbB-2/HER-2 is reportedly a marker of poor prognosis in node-positive and in defined subsets of node-negative breast cancer.
Elevated levels of c-erbB-2/HER-2 has also been implicated in response to chemotherapy.
Applications:Suitable for use in Immunoprecipitation and Immunohistochemistry.
Other applications have not been tested.
Recommended Dilutions:Immunoprecipitation (Denatured): 1:25 protein lysate using Protein G.
Immunohistochemistry: 1:1000-1:2000 for 20 minutes at RT.
Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control:SKBR-3 cells, MAD109 cells, breast carcinomas
