Overlay histogram showing A431 cells stained with ab32077 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab32077, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab96899) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (0.1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab32077).

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-EGFR antibody [E235] - BSA and Azide free (AB227459)

This IHC data was generated using the same anti-EGFR antibody clone, E235, in a different buffer formulation (cat# ab32077).

IHC image of EGFR staining in a formalin fixed, paraffin embedded mouse normal skin tissue section, performed on a Leica Bond™ system using the standard protocol B. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab32077 at 1/200 dilution for 15 mins at room temperature. A goat anti-rabbit biotinylated secondary antibody was used to detect the primary, and visualized using an HRP conjugated ABC system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

In Western blot, ab32077 was shown to bind specifically to EGFR. A band was observed at 180 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in Egfr knockout cell line ab281597 (knockout cell lysate ab282949). To generate this image, wild-type and Egfr knockout HCT 116 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Immunogen

The exact immunogen used to generate this antibody is proprietary information.

Specificity

This antibody detects Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). It does not cross react with other ERBB family members. This product yielded a strong signal in western blot using A431 (human squamous carcinoma) lysate which naturally overexpresses the EGFR protein. Western blot conditions may need to be optimised for cell lines and tissues that express lower levels of endogenous EGFR.

Supplementary information

EGFR or Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor is a transmembrane glycoprotein that acts as a receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family. Known alternatively as ErbB1 or HER1 this receptor has an approximate molecular weight of 170 kDa. EGFR is expressed in various cell types notably on epithelial cells and can influence multiple cellular processes through its kinase activity. It participates in the regulation of cell growth multiplication and survival by activating its kinase domain upon ligand binding.
Biological function summary

The EGFR protein plays an important role in cellular communication and signaling processes. EGFR pairs with other receptor family members to form active dimers or even higher-order complexes which in turn initiate intracellular signaling cascades. Through these complexes EGFR influences many processes including cell differentiation and repair. This function of EGFR makes it an integral part of mammalian biology affecting how cells respond to their environment by mediating changes in gene expression.

Pathways

EGFR is a central player in the MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways. Alongside other protein partners like KRAS and PI3 kinase it contributes to transmitting signals from the cell surface to the nucleus affecting gene transcription and cell behavior. These pathways are important for normal cell growth and division and aberrations in these pathways can lead to excessive or insufficient cell proliferation.

EGFR is pertinent to cancer biology including non-small cell lung cancer and glioblastoma where mutations or overexpression of the receptor frequently occur. It connects to proteins such as PTEN and BRAF which influence tumor progression and response to targeted therapies. EGFR's involvement in these disorders highlights its significance as a therapeutic target since it can be manipulated to alter disease progression.

Target data

The protein expressed by the EGFR gene functions as a receptor tyrosine kinase, binding with ligands from the EGF family to activate several signaling cascades that translate extracellular signals into cellular responses. Known ligands include EGF, TGFA/TGF-alpha, AREG, epigen, BTC/betacellulin, epiregulin, and HBEGF. Ligand binding triggers receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation, recruiting adapter proteins like GRB2 and activating complex downstream signaling pathways such as RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK, PI3 kinase-AKT, PLCgamma-PKC, and STATs, and possibly the NF-kappa-B cascade. EGFR also directly phosphorylates proteins like RGS16 and MUC1, influencing various cellular processes including its coupling with G protein-coupled receptor signaling and cell migration through interaction with CCDC88A/GIV. Isoform 2 of EGFR may act as an antagonist to EGF actions. In microbial infection, EGFR also serves as a receptor facilitating hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry into hepatocytes by promoting CD81-CLDN1 receptor complexes and enhancing membrane fusion with HCV envelope glycoproteins.
