Product Overview
Clone AEF-5 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes epidermal growth factor receptor (gene EGFR) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC, ICC/IF, immunoprecipitation and flow cytometry. The predicted molecular weight is 134.3 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 175 kDa.
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR, also called ErbB1 or HER1) is a receptor tyrosine kinase activated by EGF, TGF-α and related ligands. Ligand binding triggers receptor dimerization and activation of RAS/MAPK, PI3K/AKT and other pathways that drive proliferation and survival, and EGFR is a major target in cancer research.

Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 1:5000 overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:500, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): rat cerebral cortex tissue, rat stomach tissue, human thyroid cancer tissue, human glioblastoma tissue, mouse intestine tissue, human stomach cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human EGFR (ErbB 1).
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places epidermal growth factor receptor in the cell membrane, endoplasmic reticulum membrane, Golgi apparatus membrane and nuclear membrane. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Ubiquitously expressed. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
