Product Summary for Human EGFR Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Human EGF R immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure EGF R in cell culture supernates, serum, plasma, and human milk. It contains NS0-expressed recombinant human EGF R and has been shown to accurately quantitate the recombinant factor. Results obtained using natural EGF R showed linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for naturally occurring human EGF R.

Recovery for Human EGFR Quantikine ELISA Kit

The recovery of EGF R spiked to levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.

Sample Type	Average % Recovery	Range %
Cell Culture Media (n=4)	98	86-106
EDTA Plasma (n=4)	99	91-108
Heparin Plasma (n=4)	101	92-111
Serum (n=4)	101	89-117

Linearity

To assess the linearity of the assay, samples containing and/or spiked with high concentrations of EGF R were serially diluted with the appropriate Calibrator Diluent to produce samples with values within the dynamic range of the assay.

Background: EGFR

The EGF R subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases comprises four members: EGF R (also known as HER-1, ErbB1, or ErbB), ErbB2 (Neu, HER-2), ErbB3 (HER-3), and ErbB4 (HER-4). All family members are type I transmembrane glycoproteins with an extracellular ligand binding domain containing two cysteine-rich domains separated by a spacer region and a cytoplasmic domain containing a membrane-proximal tyrosine kinase domain followed by multiple tyrosine autophosphorylation sites. The human EGF R cDNA encodes a 1210 amino acid (aa) precursor with a 24 aa signal peptide, a 621 aa extracellular domain (ECD), a 23 aa transmembrane segment, and a 542 aa cytoplasmic domain. Soluble receptors consisting of the extracellular ligand binding domain are generated by alternate splicing in human and mouse. Within the ECD, human EGF R shares 88% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat EGF R. It shares 43% - 44% aa sequence identity with the ECD of human ErbB2, ErbB3, and ErbB4. EGF R binds a subset of the EGF family ligands, including EGF, amphiregulin, TGF-alpha, betacellulin, epiregulin, HB-EGF, and epigen. Ligand binding induces EGF R homodimerization as well as heterodimerization with ErbB2, resulting in kinase activation, heterodimerization tyrosine phosphorylation and cell signaling. EGF R can also be recruited to form heterodimers with the ligand-activated ErbB3 or ErbB4. EGF R signaling regulates multiple biological functions including cell proliferation, differentiation, motility, and apoptosis. EGF R is overexpressed in a wide variety of tumors and is the target of several anti-cancer drugs.
