Monoclonal Rabbit Anti-Human
Estrogen Receptor α Product introduced:
Mar 25, 2013
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.

FLEX Monoclonal Rabbit Anti-Human Estrogen Receptor α, Clone EP1, Ready-to-Use (Link), is intended for use in immunohistochemistry together with Autostainer Link 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
