Human EGFRvIII-coupled Magnetic Beads

This product is intended for immunocapture, biopanning. This is a non-sterile product.

Antibody Purification:
1. Resuspend the lyophilized beads by adding the buffer of choice.
2. Add analyte to the suspension, mix and incubate to enable specific binding of the beads and the target protein.
3. Magnetize beads, remove supernatant, and wash unbound protein fractions to capture target protein-bound beads.
4. Wash, magnetize the beads and collect purified target protein for use in downstream applications.

-20°C, avoid light

Powder

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR; ErbB-1; HER1 in humans) is the cell-surface receptor for members of the epidermal growth factor family (EGF-family) of extracellular protein ligands. The epidermal growth factor receptor is a member of the ErbB family of receptors, a subfamily of four closely related receptor tyrosine kinases: EGFR (ErbB-1), HER2/c-neu (ErbB-2), Her 3 (ErbB-3) and Her 4 (ErbB-4). Mutations affecting EGFR expression or activity could result in cancer.
The type III EGF deletion mutant receptor (EGFRvIII) is the most common mutation and was first identified in primary human glioblastoma tumors. This tumor-specific antigen is ligand-independent, contains a constitutively active tyrosine kinase domain, and has been shown to be present in a number of human malignancies. EGFRvIII has been selected as a target for CAR-modified T-cell studies in recent years.

Upon receipt, please store the beads at -20°C. The shelf life is 6 months at -20 °C._x000D_Please avoid more than 3 freeze-thaw cycles once reconstitution, immediate use after reconstitution is highly recommended.
