Reactivity
Mouse
Clonality
Monoclonal
Isotype
IgG2a
Clone Number
G8.8
Specificity
The G8.8 antibody reacts with CD326/Ep-CAM (Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule), also known as gp-40 in the Mouse. Ep-CAM is a 40-42-kDa cell-surface glycoprotein expressed on thymic epithelial cells, thymic dendritic cells, immature thymocytes, a small subset of peripheral T lymphocytes, intestinal epithelium, kidney-collecting tubule epithelium, keRatinocytes, Langerhans cells, as well as lymph node and splenic dendrititc cells.
Form/Format
Each vial contains 100 ul of 1 mg/ml purified antibody in PBS containing 0.09% sodium azide.
Applicable Applications for anti-EPCAM antibody
WB (Western Blot), IP (Immunoprecipitation), IHC (Immunohistochemistry), ICC (Immunocytochemistry), FCM/FACS (Flow Cytometry)
Source Note
G8.8 is a rat monoclonal IgG2a antibody derived by fusion of X63-Ag8.653 mouse myeloma cells with spleen lymphocytes from rats repeatedly immunized with glycoconjugates from BALB/c Mouse derived medullary thymic epithelial cells.
Product Type
Primary Antibodies
Preparation and Storage
Store at 4 degree C, or in small aliquots at -20 degree C.
Related Product Information for anti-EPCAM antibody
Ep-CAM is a 40 kD glycoprotein and can be detected at the basolateral membrane of the majority of epithelial tissues, where it is intriCately linked with the cadherin-Catenin complex and hence the fundamental WNT pathway responsible for intracellular signalling and polarity. This antigen functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. Of particular interest, Ep-CAM appears to be overexpressed by the majority of Human epithelial carcinomas, including colorectal, breast, prostate, head and neck, and hepatic carcinomas. The antigen is being used as a target for immunotherapy of Human carcinomas. Formation of Ep-CAM-mediated adhesions has a negative regulatory effect on adhesions mediated by classic cadherins, which may have strong effects on the differentiation and growth of epithelial cells. Ep-CAM overexpression was suggested to be associated with enhanced epithelial prolifeRation.

Product Notes
The EPCAM epcam (Catalog #AAA77498) is an Antibody produced from Rat and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Rat anti Ep-CAM reacts with Mouse and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Ep-CAM can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, WB (Western Blot), IP (Immunoprecipitation), IHC (Immunohistochemistry), ICC (Immunocytochemistry), FCM/FACS (Flow Cytometry). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the EPCAM epcam for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Ep-CAM, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
