Overview
This is a monoclonal anti-EPCAM antibody raised in Mouse, with confirmed utility in ELISA, IHC, FC. It is designed to detect EPCAM protein in Human and supports researchers working in tags & cell markers contexts.
Key elements and design rationale
- Immunogen: Recombinant Human EPCAM protein — determines the epitope region; confirm compatibility with sample preparation and expected post-translational modifications.
- Host species (Mouse): Requires anti-mouse-IgG secondary reagents for indirect detection.
- Monoclonal format: Single-epitope binding provides high specificity and lot-to-lot reproducibility. Confirm epitope accessibility under your assay conditions.
- Isotype (IgG2a): Matched secondary antibodies and isotype controls required. Compatible with standard Protein A/G purification workflows.
- Purification (Affinity chromatography): Enriches for specific immunoglobulin classes; reduces non-specific background vs. crude antisera.

Expression, subcellular localization, and post-translational modifications vary across cell types and disease states — factors critical to antibody-based detection design. Consult UniProt, NCBI Gene, and primary literature for current annotation of EPCAM biology in tags & cell markers.
Common research applications
- ELISA: Quantification of soluble target in biological fluids or culture supernatants. Ensure samples are within the linear detection range.
- IHC: Visualization of target in FFPE or frozen tissue sections. Optimize antigen retrieval and secondary detection for each tissue type.
- FC: Applicable for FC-based detection; refer to product documentation for optimized conditions.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Isotype controls: Use an isotype-matched (IgG2a from Mouse) control at equivalent concentration to assess non-specific background.
- Cross-reactivity: Confirm the clone does not cross-react with related family members under your assay conditions.
- Matrix effects: Sample matrix can affect performance; pilot dilution linearity and spike-recovery experiments are advised for quantitative studies.
- Species reactivity: Confirmed for Human. Extrapolation to untested species requires empirical validation.
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody expressed in HEK293F cells.
EPCAM is a protein target in Human biology. This monoclonal antibody raised in Mouse is designed to detect EPCAM in ELISA, IHC, FC applications, with IgG2a isotype.
Reported reactive against Human. Immunogen derived from Human. Cross-reactivity with other species should not be assumed without documented data or empirical testing.
Reported for ELISA, IHC, FC. Each format requires independent dilution optimization and appropriate controls. Unlisted applications require empirical testing.
This non-conjugated IgG2a antibody requires a compatible secondary. Select anti-mouse IgG secondary conjugated to your preferred reporter (HRP, AP, fluorophore, or biotin), matched to IgG2a.
(1) Isotype control — IgG2a from Mouse at matching concentration; (2) Positive control — known EPCAM-expressing cell/tissue; (3) Negative control — knockdown/knockout sample for specificity; (4) Dilution linearity — verify proportional signal decrease in your matrix.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
