Anti-E-Cadherin Antibody, clone 67A4

T-47D breast carcinoma line

Anti-E-Cadherin Antibody, clone 67A4 detects level of E-Cadherin & has been published & validated for use in FC & WB.

Immunoblotting: 123kD in membrane fractions; MCF-7 membranes positive control. Confluent cells were washed three times with ice-cold PBS and lysed in 50mM HEPES pH 7.5, 150mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, 10% glycerine, 1% triton X-100, 20mM Na(4)P(2)O(7), 2mM Na-vanadate, 100mM NaF, 2mM PMSF, 20μg/mL leupeptin, 1mM pNPP(para-nitrophenylphosphate), 20μg/mL aprotinin, and 200μM NH(4)-molybdate. Crude extracts were clarified by centrifugation (10,000 x g 10 min), and supernatants were taken for immunoprecipitation. Protein concentration of cleared lysates were determined by BCA protein assay. {Buhring, et al Luekemia 10:106-116, 1996}.

Antibodies against E-cadherin are suitable to characterize epithelial cells. E-Cadherin is involved in adhesion of epithelial cells (mostly homotypic and homophilic). E-cadherin is also expressed on immature erythroid cells. The antibody 67A4 is suitable to study E-cadherin expression by flow cytometry. In addition, it blocks the interaction of E-cadherin molecules and therefore is suitable to study E-cadherin-mediated signal transduction.

Antigen is expressed in non-neural epithelial tissues.
