Description

General description

Anti-EGFR (Ab-1), mouse monoclonal, clone 528, recognizes EGF receptor protein in A431 cells and normal skin. It is validated for use in ELISA, IF, IP, IHC (frozen,paraffin) & neutralization studies.

Purified mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing BALB/c mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with NS-1 mouse myeloma cells (see application references. Recognizes the ~170 kDa EGF receptor.

Recognizes the ~170 kDa EGF receptor protein in A431 cells and normal skin.

This antibody inhibits EGF binding to its receptor and is an antagonist of in vivo EGF-stimulated tyrosine kinase activity (see application references). Also inhibits A431 tumor formation in nude mice. For neutralization studies, use Cat. No. GR01L; Cat. No. GR01 contains azide, which is toxic to cells. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
