c-erbB-2 Oncoprotein Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry

Description: Polyclonal Rabbit Anti-Human c-erbB-2 Oncoprotein is intended for use in immunocytochemistry. The antibody labels normal epithelial cells, which, however, generally express c-erbB-2 protein at a very low level. It is a useful tool for the identification of overexpression of cerbB-2 oncoprotein in a variety of epithelial neoplasms, for example subsets of breast carcinomas, pulmonary adenocarcinomas, colorectal adenocarcinomas, pulmonary squamous and gastric adenocarcinomas, transitional cell carcinomas of the urinary bladder, and endometrial adenocarcinomas. Differential identification is aided by the results from a panel of antibodies. Interpretation of results must be made within the context of the patient’s clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a certified professional.
