Specificity / Sensitivity
EpCAM (VU1D9) Mouse mAb (Alexa Fluor® 555 Conjugate) detects endogenous levels of total EpCAM protein.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with NCI-H69 small cell lung carcinoma cells.
IF-IC
Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of HT-29 cells (left) and HeLa cells (right) using EpCAM (VU1D9) Mouse mAb (Alexa Fluor® 555 Conjugate) (red). Blue pseudocolor= DRAQ5® #4084 (fluorescent DNA dye).
Description
This Cell Signaling Technology antibody is conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 555 fluorescent dye and tested in-house for immunofluorescent analysis in human cells. The antibody is expected to exhibit the same species cross-reactivity as the unconjugated EpCAM (VU1D9) Mouse mAb #2929.
Background
Epithelial cell adhesion and activating molecule (EpCAM/CD326) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates Ca2+-independent, homophilic adhesions on the basolateral surface of most epithelial cells. EpCAM is not expressed in adult squamous epithelium, but it is highly expressed in adeno and squamous cell carcinomas (1). Research studies identified EpCAM as one of the first tumor-associated antigens, and it has long been a marker of epithelial and tumor tissue. Investigators have shown that EpCAM is highly expressed in cancer cells (reviewed in 2,3).
