Target: HER2.
Specificity: Detects human HER2. This non-therapeutic antibody uses the same sequence as the therapeutic antibody Ado-trastuzumab emtansine.
Purification method: This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.
Background: Ado-trastuzumab emtansine is a HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate which contains the humanized anti-HER2 IgG1, trastuzumab, covalently linked to the microtubule inhibitory drug DM1 via the stable thioether linker MCC. Trastuzumab is produced by Chinese hamster ovary cells, and DM1-MCC are produced by chemical synthesis. Ado-trastuzumab emtansine contains an average of 3.5 DM1 molecules per antibody.
Concentration: 1.0 - 5.0 mg/ml.
Formulation: Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.2,with no carrier protein, potassium or preservatives added. BSA and Azide free.
Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC.
Endotoxin: ≤ 0.75 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method.
Use: Products are for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
