Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) elicits a variety of cellular responses that are initiated by EGF receptor (EGF-R) binding and activation of intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. Following ligand binding, EGF receptor is autophosphorylated and, in turn, phosphorylates several other endogenous proteins including phospholipase Cγ. These events initiate a number of intracellular responses that include increased levels of intracellular Ca2+ and transient expression of the nuclear oncogene products c-Myc and c-Fos.
This antibody is routinely tested by western blot analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
