Monoclonal Rabbit Anti-Human
Estrogen Receptor α
Clone EP1
This monoclonal rabbit antibody reacts with human estrogen receptor α (ER α).
Estrogens have been found to be preferentially concentrated in the estrogen target organs of animals and in human breast cancers, and it is well documented that the mitogenic effects of estrogen are mediated by ER. Historical studies have shown that ER status is correlated with untreated outcome (i.e. prognostic for well-differentiated invasive breast cancer) and with response to anti-hormonal therapy, e.g. tamoxifen (1). The antibody may be used in the semi-quantitative detection of human estrogen receptor in tissue sections of human breast cancer by immunohistochemistry.

Breast carcinoma (FFPE) stained with Anti-Estrogen Receptor α, Code IR084/IS084.
Breast carcinoma with positive estrogen receptor expression. The neoplastic cells show a moderate to strong staining reaction.
Clinical application for IR084/IS084. For assessment of estrogen receptor status in breast carcinomas.
Disclaimer: Due to variances among color computer monitors, the colors you see on your screen may not be the exact colors of the stain. The image you see should be considered close renditions to the actual stain.
- Optimized staining performance of both high- and low-expression structures
- Crisp and clear staining with no background
- Optimal laboratory efficiency with ready-to-use antibodies on Dako Autostainer Plus
FLEX Monoclonal Rabbit Anti-Human Estrogen Receptor α, Clone EP1, Ready-to-Use (Dako Autostainer/ Autostainer Plus), is intended for use in immunohistochemistry together with Dako Autostainer/Autostainer Plus instruments to semi-quantitatively detect human estrogen receptor in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections of human breast cancer. The antibody labels estrogen receptor α-positive cells and is useful in the assessment of estrogen receptor status in human breast carcinomas
The clinical interpretation of any staining or its absence should be complemented by morphological studies using proper controls and should be evaluated within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.
