Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- 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.
- The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
- Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
- Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) elicits a variety of cellular responses that are initiated by EGF Receptor (EGFR) binding and activation of intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. EGFR, also known as ErbB1 or HER1, is a member of the ErbB class of receptor protein tyrosine kinases. It has an extracellular ligand-binding domain, a single transmembrane region, and a cytoplasmic region containing a protein tyrosine kinase domain and a c-terminal regulatory domain with many phosphorylation sites. Following ligand binding, EGFR forms homodimers and heterodimers with ErbB2. Specific C-terminal tyrosine residues are then autophosphorylated and, in turn, bind to adaptor proteins, kinases, or protein tyrosine phosphatases. Specifically, phosphorylated tyrosine 1173 (Y1173) interacts with Shc, SHP1, and PLCγ, which mediate downstream signaling cascades and negative feedback regulation of EGFR activation. Inappropriate expression or mutations of EGFR and/or deregulation of its signaling pathways are associated with many types of cancer, making EGFR a promising target for cancer therapies.
The 9H2 monoclonal antibody recognizes the phosphorylated Y1173 in the regulatory domain of human EGFR.
