Flow cytometric analysis of EGF Receptor expression on human epidermoid carcinoma cells. A-431 cells (ATCC CRL-1555) were stained with PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 554680; dashed line histogram) or PE Mouse Anti-Human EGF Receptor antibody (Cat. No. 566778; solid line histogram) at 0.5 µg/test. The fluorescence histogram showing EGF Receptor expression (or Isotype control staining) was derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable cells. Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a BD FACSCelesta™ Cytometer System and FlowJo™ software. Data shown on this Technical Data Sheet are not lot specific.

Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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 EMab-134 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R). The EGF-R is a transmembrane glycoprotein of approximately 170 kDa that is expressed on most cells. It consists of a glycosylated extracellular domain which binds to epidermal growth factor (EGF), a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular domain with tyrosine-kinase activity essential for signal transduction. The epitope recognized by EMab-134 is an extracellular peptide that is not affected by glycosylation. The EGF-R plays an important role in the growth and differentiation of many cellular types. Transforming growth factor α (TGFα), vaccinia virus growth factor, and related growth factors can also bind to and signal through the EGF-R.
