Research Area: Growth factor and cytokine

Background:

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:

ELISA: The antibody can be used as capture antibody in sandwich ELISA for human EGF detection in combination with EGF tracer (Cat. No.: MO-C40044T/ MO-C40044TB, clone S-146).
