EGFR is a type I recpetor tyrosine kinase with sequence homology to erb-B 1, 2, 3, 4, or HER 1, 2, 3, 4.
It binds to epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor-a, heparin binding EGF, amphiregulin, betacellulin, and epiregulin.
EGFR is overexpressed in tumors of breast, brain, bladder, lung, gastric, head and neck, esophagus, cervix, vulva, ovary and endometrium.
It is predominantly present in squamous cell carcinomas.
Applications:Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunofluorescence, Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation and Immunohistochemistry.
Other applications have not been tested.
Recommended Dilutions:Western Blot: 0.5-1ug/ml for 2 hours at RT
Immunoprecipitation (Native only): 2ug/mg protein lysate using Protein G.
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/paraffin): 2-4ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT.
Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires digestion with protease XXV at 1mg/ml PBS for 5 minutes at 37°C.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Positive Control:A431 cells.
Placenta or squamous cell carcinoma.
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Store at -20°C.
Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt.
For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
