Absolute Antibody

Anti-deltaEGFR [DH8.3]

9

This antibody has been used in fluorescence-activated cell sorting, Western blot and immunohistochemical analysis, using acetone-fixed frozen sections, of a tumour panel (Jungbluth et al, 2003). It does not stain normal tissues, which express wild-type EGFR (Jungbluth et al, 2003), and preferentially stains tumours expressing mutant receptors (Hills et al, 1995). This antibody has also been used in immunoprecipitation experiments (Hills et al, 1995) and ELISA analysis (Johns et al, 2002). This antibody has been shown to induce rapid internalisation of truncated EGFR by target cells (Johns et al, 2002), which could have therapeutic applications, given the tumour-restricted expression of deltaEGFR and its role in tumorigenesis.
