EGFR (Erbb1, ERBB1, Errp, HER1, mENA, PIG61, Proto-oncogene c-ErbB-1, Receptor Tyrosine Protein Kinase, ErbB1, Urogastrone, wa2, Wa5) (PE)

This antibody reacts with the extracellular domain of EGFR and blocks the EGF/TGFα−induced activation. It also blocks tumor growth in vivo. It is excellent for purification of EGFR. 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.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Immunoprecipitation, Affinity Purification, Inhibits Proliferation, Arrests Tumor Growth in vivo. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Immunoprecipitation: 1-2ug/500ug protein lysate
Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1ug/million cells
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Positive Control:
A431 cells, Breast or Bladder cancer
