Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM), also designated CD326, serves as a critical marker in cancer research and stem cell biology. This transmembrane glycoprotein mediates calcium-independent homotypic cell-cell adhesion and plays significant roles in cell signaling, proliferation, and differentiation. Highly expressed on carcinomas of epithelial origin, EpCAM has emerged as a valuable target for tumor identification, cancer stem cell isolation, and therapeutic development, making reliable detection tools essential for researchers investigating tumor biology and epithelial malignancies.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody (clone 28G8) offers the consistency and reproducibility that demanding research applications require. Produced using recombinant technology with a sequence-defined construct, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability inherent in traditional hybridoma production, ensuring your experimental results remain comparable across studies and over time. The mouse IgG2a isotype antibody has been raised against recombinant human EpCAM protein and purified by affinity chromatography for optimal specificity.
Validation studies demonstrate robust performance across multiple platforms. Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human endometrial cancer tissue reveals clear membrane staining at 1:100 dilution using citrate buffer antigen retrieval, confirming utility for clinical and translational research specimens. Flow cytometry validation on MCF7 cells, a well-characterized breast cancer line with known EpCAM expression, shows distinct surface staining with clear separation from isotype control, supporting applications in cell phenotyping and sorting workflows.
Whether you are characterizing tumor samples, isolating circulating tumor cells, or investigating epithelial differentiation, this antibody provides the validated performance and batch consistency needed for reproducible results in your EpCAM-focused research.
