| Reactivity | Mouse |
| Antibody Host | Rat |
| Isotype | IgG2a |
| Clonality | Monoclonal |
| Immunogen | This antibody is derived by fusion of X63-Ag8.653 mouse myeloma cells with spleen lymphocytes from rats repeatedly immunized with glycoconjugates from BALB/c Mouse derived medullary thymic epithelial cells. |
| Specificity | The G8.8 antibody reacts with CD326/Ep-CAM (Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule), also known as gp-40 in the Mouse. Ep-CAM is a 40-42-kDa cell-surface glycoprotein expressed on thymic epithelial cells, thymic dendritic cells, immature thymocytes, a small subset of peripheral T lymphocytes, intestinal epithelium, kidney-collecting tubule epithelium, keratinocytes, Langerhans cells, as well as lymph node and splenic dendrititc cells. |

| Concentration | lot specific |
| Conjugation | Unconjugated |
| Storage | Store undiluted at 2-8°C for one month or (in aliquots) at -20°C for longer. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. |
| Stability | Shelf life: one year from despatch. |

| Background | Ep-CAM is a 40 kD glycoprotein and can be detected at the basolateral membrane of the majority of epithelial tissues, where it is intricately linked with the cadherin-catenin complex and hence the fundamental WNT pathway responsible for intracellular signalling and polarity. This antigen functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. Of particular interest, Ep-CAM appears to be overexpressed by the majority of human epithelial carcinomas, including colorectal, breast, prostate, head and neck, and hepatic carcinomas. The antigen is being used as a target for immunotherapy of human carcinomas. Formation of Ep-CAM-mediated adhesions has a negative regulatory effect on adhesions mediated by classic cadherins, which may have strong effects on the differentiation and growth of epithelial cells. Ep-CAM overexpression was suggested to be associated with enhanced epithelial proliferation. |
