Extra Details:: Epidermal growth factor (EGF), along with its receptor EGFR, plays an important role in cell proliferation, differentiation and survival. The binding of EGF to EGFR triggers the intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity of EGFR, activates signalling molecules and stimulates the synthesis of proteins and DNAs. EGF is crucial for maintaining mucosal lining in gastrointestinal duct and for healing of oral and gastroesophageal ulcers. EGF signalling is needed for cancer growth. Monoclonal antibodies that block EGFR have been applied for lung cancer and colon cancer treatment. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Sodium azide is a potent inhibitor of peroxidase and should not be added to HRP conjugates.
