آنتی‌ بادی C-erbB-2/HER2/NEU (SP3)

Name: Rabbit Anti-c-erbB2 Monoclonal Antibody clone SP3

Description and applications: C-erbB-2 is a receptor tyrosine kinase of the c-erbB family. The C-erbB-2 is a proto-oncogene located on human chromosome 17, band 21. It has structural  similarities to the EGFR (Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor). Immunohistochemical staining of the oncoprotein is related to gene amplification. Different studies have demonstrated immunohistochemical detectable levels in more than 20% of adenocarcinomas of different locations, including ovarian, gastro-intestinal tract and breast. In the case of breast cancer, the overexpression has been shown to be associated with poor prognosis. This antibody is recommended to determine the expression levels of the oncoprotein C-erb B-2 in breast adenocarcinomas and other locations.
