Key Applications Flow Cytometry
Immunofluorescence
Immunoprecipitation
Neutralization Studies
Application NotesFlow Cytometry (1-5 µg/ml)
Immunofluorescence (1-5 µg/ml)
Immunoprecipitation (1-2 µg/sample)
Neutralization Studies (1-2 µg/ml; see application references)
Application CommentsStains A431, HeLa-5 cells and other human cells but not to rodent cells. It inhibits EGF binding to its receptor and is an antagonist of in vivo EGF-stimulated tyrosine kinase activity. This antibody does not cross-react to c-neu/erb B-2. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.

Special InstructionsWe recommend resuspending the lyophilized antibody with sterile PBS, pH 7.4, or sterile 20 mM Tris-saline (20 mM Tris containing 0.15 M NaCl), pH 7.4, to yield a final concentration of 100 µg/ml; product will be more stable if 0.1% sodium azide is included (do not add azide if antibody is to be used with viable cells). Lyophilized antibodies should be resuspended at 4°C with occasional gentle mixing for at least 2 h.

DescriptionPurified mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with NS-1 mouse myeloma cells. Recognizes the ~170 kDa EGF receptor protein.
BackgroundEpidermal growth factor (EGF) initiates its effects on cell growth through interaction with a 170,000 dalton cell surface glycoprotein receptor. Binding of EGF or transforming growth factor alpha to the receptor activates a tyrosine-specific protein kinase intrinsic to the EGF-receptor protein. The phosphotyrosine content of target cells increases rapidly and the EGF-receptor is phosphorylated on tyrosine residues.
