EpCAM antibody

Catalog No. ABIN111178

Product Details anti-EpCAM Antibody

Target: EpCAM (EPCAM) (Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EPCAM))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This EpCAM antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Specificity: Clone HEA125 recognizes Ep-CAM (polypeptide reacting: Mr 40,000 epithelium-specific cell surface glycoprotein). HEA125 represents an excellent marker to discriminate epithelial from mesothelial structures. The antigen has been detected in all carcinoma types tested (18 different origins). A subset of squamous cell carcinoma is negative. Tested Reactivities on Cultured Cell Lines: All carcinoma cell lines tested so far, particularly strong reaction with colon carcinoma cell lines (HT-29, WiDr, SW1116).

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Species reactivity (tested):Human.

Purification: Affinity Chromatography on Protein A

Immunogen: HT-29 colon carcinoma cell line

Clone: HEA125

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Immunoblotting. Cell sorting. Cytological material. Immunofluorescence microscopy. Immunohistochemistry on frozen and paraffin-embedded tissue. With paraffin embeddedsections, protease pre-treatment is required prior to antibody application. Dilute at least 1: 10 with PBS, pH 7.4, for immunohistochemical application. Incubationtime: 1 h at RT, extended with paraffin.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.
