General description
Anti-EGFR (Ab-5), mouse monoclonal, clone EGFR.1, recognizes the ~170 kDa EGF receptor protein in A431 cells. It is validated for use in FC, IF, and IP.
Purified 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.
Recognizes the ~170 kDa EGF receptor protein in A431 cells. For neutralization studies Cat. No. GR15L is recommended.
Immunogen
Human
partially purified, human EGFR from A431 cells

Other Notes
EGF-Receptor (Ab-5) binds to 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. Does not cross-react to c-neu/erb B-2. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
