All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Monoclonal Anti-EGFR (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma 225 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells (NS-1-503 cells) and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with partially purified EGF receptors from A-431 cells. The receptor for epidermal growth factor (EGF) is an integral cell membrane glycoprotein of 170 kDa, which spans the membranes of a wide range of normal and malignant epithelial cells. The EGF receptor has an intracellular domain that exhibits tyrosine kinase activity.

EGFR is a transmembrane glycoprotein that binds to the EGF family. It is a pivotal regulator of cell proliferation, growth, differentiation and DNA repair after radiation-induced damage. Mutations in the gene encoding EGFR are associated with a number of malignancies including lung cancer and colorectal cancer.
