Recombinant Anti-EGFR antibody [EP38Y] - Low endotoxin, Azide free (ab174481)

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of Human cervical carcinoma tissue sections labeling EGFR with purified ab52894 at 1:100 dilution (0.95 μg/ml). Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using EDTA Buffer, pH9.0. Tissue was counterstained with Hematoxylin. ab97051 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) secondary antibody was used at 1:500 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the negative control.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab52894).

False colour image of Western blot: Anti-EGFR antibody [EP38Y] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab52894 was shown to bind specifically to EGFR. A band was observed at 160 kDa in wild-type HCT 116 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in Egfr CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line ab281597 (CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell lysate ab282949). The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane below 160 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of EGFR. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image, wild-type and Egfr CRISPR-Cas9 edited 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 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween^® 20 (TBS-T) 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.

Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab52894 observed at 175 kDa. Red - loading control, ab130007 observed at 125 kDa.  

 ab52894 was shown to react with EGFR in wild-type HeLa. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab255385 (knockout cell lysate ab263845) was used. Wild-type and EGFR knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab52894 and Anti-Vinculin antibody [VIN-54] (ab130007) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Intracellular Flow Cytometry analysis of A431 (Human epidermoid carcinoma epithelial cell) cells labelling EGFR with purified ab52894. Cells were fixed with 4% Paraformaldehyde (10min) and permeabilised with 90% methanol for 30min. Then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by ab52894 at 1/20 dilution (red) for 30 min. A Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^® 488) secondary antibody was used at 1/2000 dilution. Isotype control - Rabbit monoclonal IgG (Black). Unlabelled control - Cell without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Blue).
