Specificity Statement: Oncogenic protein Her-2/neu (erbB-2), a member of the family of epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors, overexpressed in 30% of invasive breast cancers and 70% of ductal carcinomata in situ, in a small percentage of melanomas, and in other malignancies originating from various organs, including ovary, kidney, colon, and bladder.
Application Notes (Clone): This antibody binds to erbB-2/Her-2/neu has therapeutic indications particularly in the treatment of breast cancer (c.f. Herceptin). It can also be used to detect HER-2 by flow cytometry or IHC (Glazyrin 2007).
