Anti-Hu CD326 PE-Cy1537

• Background: CD326 / EpCAM (also known as ESA, EGP40, EGP-2, KSA1/4, CO17-1A, GA733-2, MOC31, Ber-EP4) is a 40 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein serving as adhesion molecule in the basolateral membranes in a variety of epithelial cells. CD326 mediates calcium-independent homotypic cell-cell adhesions. CD326 over-expression has been detected in many epithelial tumours and is often associated with bad prognosis. It has been used for diagnostics of (pre-) malignancies at early stages.
• Specifications: The mouse monoclonal antibody 323/A3 recognizes an extracellular epitope of CD326 / EpCAM, a marker of epithelial lineages, that is over-expressed in many carcinomas.
• Certification: RUO
• Host: Mouse
• Species Reactivity: Human
• Negative Species: Rat
• Immunogen: Human breast cancer MCF-7 cells
• Target Antigen: CD326
• Isotype: IgG1
