The EGFR Multispecies In-Cell ELISA Near Infrared Detection Kits provide a simple and convenient method for quantifying intracellular proteins in whole cells.
Principle of the method
This kit enables simultaneous detection of post-translational-modified protein (PTM) and the corresponding unmodified protein, or two different targets within the same well. Simultaneously detecting targets within an ELISA well eliminates variability caused by differences in cell plating. The expression levels of the protein(s) are monitored using primary antibodies specific to the targets and corresponding species-specific near-infrared Thermo Scientific DyLight-Conjugated Secondary Antibodies. Relative protein activation or inactivation is determined as a ratio of modified protein levels to the corresponding unmodified protein measured using a modification-specific antibody and an antibody to unmodified protein, respectively.
Rigorous validation
Each manufactured lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested for criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency. See manual for more information on validation.
EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor, is a receptor tyrosine kinases that signals in response to various growth factors. Overexpression has been linked to numerous types of cancer and EGFR is the target of both biological and small molecular therapeutics. EGFR is encoded by the EGFR gene located on chromosome 7 in humans. EGFR belongs to the HER/ERbB family of proteins that includes three other receptor tyrosine kinases, ERbB2, ERbB3, ERbB4. EGFR is a transmembrane receptor and binding of its cognate ligands such as EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) and TGF alpha (Transforming Growth Factor alpha) to the extracellular domain leads to EGFR dimerization followed by autophosphorylation of the tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic domain. Overexpression is observed in tumors of the head and neck, brain, bladder, stomach, breast, lung, endometrium, cervix, vulva, ovary, esophagus, stomach and in squamous cell carcinoma.
