Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Description: This me1B3 monoclonal antibody reacts with human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), also known as ErbB1 and Her1. EGFR is a receptor tyrosine kinase belonging to the EGFR/ErbB receptor subfamily, which also includes ErbB2/Her2/neu. EGFR contains an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a single transmembrane-spanning region, and a cytoplasmic tail containing a tyrosine kinase domain. Specific ligands include EGF and TNF alpha, as well as other members of the EGF protein family. Upon ligand binding, EGFR undergoes receptor-mediated dimerization with itself or ErbB2/Her2/neu. Dimerization induces auto-phosphorylation, resulting in the activation of PLC gamma, JAK/STAT, MAPK/ERK, and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. EGFR has a role in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation, and is evolutionarily highly conserved in structure and function. EGFR is broadly expressed and is overexpressed or mutated in glioblastomas and a number of different epithelial cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer and colorectal cancer. Applications Reported: This me1B3 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis. Applications Tested: This me1B3 antibody has been pre-titrated and tested by flow cytometric analysis of HeLa cells. This can be used at 5 μL (0.125 μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but c...

EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor, is a receptor tyrosine kinases that signals in response to various growth factors. Overexpression has been linked to numerous types of cancer and EGFR is the target of both biological and small molecular therapeutics. EGFR is encoded by the EGFR gene located on chromosome 7 in humans. EGFR belongs to the HER/ERbB family of proteins that includes three other receptor tyrosine kinases, ERbB2, ERbB3, ERbB4. EGFR is a transmembrane receptor and binding of its cognate ligands such as EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) and TGF alpha (Transforming Growth Factor alpha) to the extracellular domain leads to EGFR dimerization followed by autophosphorylation of the tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic domain. Overexpression is observed in tumors of the head and neck, brain, bladder, stomach, breast, lung, endometrium, cervix, vulva, ovary, esophagus, stomach and in squamous cell carcinoma.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

I am unable to analyze my cells stained with eFluor Organic Dyes today. What options do I have?

Our options will depend on the samples you are analyzing.

If cell viability is not critical, you can store your stained samples at 4 degrees C or on ice overnight in the dark and analyze the following day.

For samples stained with eFluor organic fluorochromes, we recommend that cells be suspended in 100 uL of Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (Cat. No. 00-4222) and 100 uL of eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222); samples can be incubated for up to 3 days at 4 degrees C in the dark. Alternatively, the 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333) can be used. This is a great option when working with whole blood but also works for other cell types.

Can the eFluor Organic fluorochromes be used for intracellular staining?

Yes, the eFluor Organic fluorochromes can be used for intracellular staining. The eFluor organic fluorochromes maintain bright signal and require minimal changes in compensation when fixed with eBioscience IC Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8222-49) and Permeabilization Buffer (Cat. No. 00-8333-56) or 1-step Fix/Lyse Solution (Cat. No. 00-5333-54, 00-5333-57) (as compared to live cells).

Is the eFluor 660 fluorochrome compatible with Anti-Cy5/Alexa Fluor 647 beads?

Yes, in-house studies have demonstrated that the eFluor 660 fluorochrome is recognized by Anti-Cy5/Alexa Fluor 647 beads. Side by side studies with Alexa Fluor 647 versus eFluor 660 conjugated antibodies have demonstrated comparable results.

What buffers are compatible with the eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots?

The eFluor Organic fluorochromes and eVolve QDots can be used with flow staining buffers containing PBS and protein.

What is the difference between eFluor Organic Dyes and eVolve Qdots?

The eFluor Organic Dyes (eFluor 450, APC-eFluor 780, PerCP-eFluor 710, eFluor 710) are conventional fluorochromes. In contrast, the eVolve line of products are Quantum dots.
