Overview
This is a polyclonal anti-EPCAM antibody raised in Rabbit, with confirmed utility in ELISA, IHC. It is designed to detect EPCAM protein in Human, Mouse, Rat and supports researchers working in tags & cell markers contexts where consistent antibody performance is required.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Synthetic peptide of Human EPCAM — the immunizing antigen determines the epitope region; confirm epitope compatibility with sample preparation and expected post-translational modifications.
- Host species (Rabbit): Requires anti-rabbit-IgG secondary reagents. Use matched secondaries to avoid no-signal or cross-reactivity issues.
- Polyclonal format: Recognizes multiple epitopes, providing robust signal across varied preparations and species variants. Inherent lot-to-lot variability requires appropriate controls.
- Isotype (IgG): Compatible with standard Protein A/G purification and widely supported by secondary reagents. Include an isotype-matched control at equivalent concentration.
- Purification (Antigen affinity purification): Enriches for specific immunoglobulin classes, reducing non-specific populations and improving signal-to-noise.

Expression levels, subcellular localization, and post-translational modifications vary across cell types, tissues, and disease states — factors that influence antibody-based detection and experimental design. Consult UniProt, NCBI Gene, and primary literature for current annotation of EPCAM biology, including known isoforms, interactors, and disease-relevant expression patterns in tags & cell markers.
Common research applications
- ELISA: Sandwich or indirect ELISA can quantify soluble target in biological fluids or culture supernatants. Ensure samples fall within the linear detection range.
- IHC: IHC visualizes target in FFPE or frozen tissue sections. Optimize antigen retrieval method and secondary detection for each tissue type.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isotype controls: Use an isotype-matched (IgG from Rabbit) control at equivalent concentration to assess non-specific background.
- Cross-reactivity: Polyclonal preparations may cross-react with related proteins or isoforms. Orthogonal validation (siRNA, KO lysate, recombinant protein) is recommended to confirm signal specificity.
- Matrix effects: Sample matrix (serum, plasma, lysate, homogenate) can affect performance. Pilot dilution linearity and spike-recovery experiments are recommended for quantitative studies.
- Species reactivity: Confirmed for Human, Mouse, Rat. Extrapolation to untested species requires empirical validation given potential epitope sequence divergence.
This product is a polyclonal antibody purified from rabbit antiserum.
EPCAM is a protein target in Human, Mouse, Rat biology. This polyclonal antibody raised in Rabbit is designed to detect EPCAM in ELISA, IHC applications, with IgG isotype.
This antibody is reported reactive against Human, Mouse, Rat. The immunogen was derived from Human. Cross-reactivity with other species should not be assumed without documented data or empirical testing.
The supplier reports performance in ELISA, IHC. Each application requires independent dilution optimization, blocking conditions, and appropriate controls. Performance in unlisted applications requires empirical testing.
This is a non-conjugated IgG antibody requiring a compatible secondary for detection. Select an anti-rabbit IgG secondary conjugated to your preferred reporter (HRP, AP, fluorophore, or biotin), matched to IgG.
Recommended: (1) Isotype control — IgG from Rabbit at matching concentration for non-specific background; (2) Positive control — known EPCAM-expressing cell/tissue; (3) Negative control — knockdown or knockout sample to confirm signal specificity; (4) Dilution linearity — verify proportional signal decrease to confirm quantitative linearity in your matrix.
