HER2 Antibody / ErbB2

SKU: orb248329

Description

This mAb is specific to HER2 / ErbB2 and shows minimal cross-reaction with other members of the family. HER2 is a member of the EGFR family. Receptors of this family are located on the plasma membrane and consist of an extracellular ligand-binding domain that is connected to a large intracellular domain by a single transmembrane sequence. HER2 protein is over-expressed in a variety of carcinomas especially those of breast and ovary.

Analysis of HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19, 000 full-length human proteins using HER2 antibody (clone HRB2/451). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the HRB2/451 mAb. Z- and S- score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary Ab) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If the targets on the HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-scores. The S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of an Ab to its intended target.
