Reactivity Human
Relevance Monoclonal antibody directed against ΔEGFR, a mutated form of EGFR, typically found in brain tumours. This antibody has use within radiolabelled tumour imaging and potentially therapeutic targeting against ΔEGFR tumours.

Background and Research Application
Epidermal growth factor (EGFR) has attracted considerable attention as a target for cancer therapy. Wild-type EGFR is amplified in a number of cancers, and several mutant forms of the EGFR coding gene have been found. ΔEGFR is the most common mutation, with a deletion of exons 2–7 in the external domain of wt-EGFR, generating a truncated form of EGFR. This ΔEGFR mutation is found in particularly high concentrations within glioblastoma.
Anti-ΔEGFR [DH8.3] is raised to a synthetic peptide that recognises the junctional region of the ΔEGFR receptor. It recognises a genetic rearrangement where exon 1 is spliced to exon 8, resulting in the loss of 801 bp from the mature mRNA. This corresponds to a deletion of 267 amino acids in the receptor’s extracellular domain. The structure of the receptor is then unable to bind ligand, yet is constitutively active, enhancing tumorigenesis due to impaired internalisation and degradation.
Host Mouse
Immunogen Synthetic peptide corresponding to the junctional region of the truncated receptor LEEKKGNYVVTDHC,conjugated to keyhole limpet haemcyanin.
Immunogen UniProt ID P00533
Subclass IgG1 kappa
Myeloma Used NS0
Notes Production Details
Purified using multi-step affinity chromatography with protein A.

Storage Conditions
Store at -20 degrees frozen. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Points of Interest
Anti-ΔEGFR [DH8.3] does not recognise the natural, wild-type form of EGFR receptor, so therefore does not cross react with the full-length receptor. It only binds cells expressing the mutant receptor. This antibody can be used in tumour imaging, with radiolabelled antibody DH8.3. This antibody has successfully targeted tumours expressing DH8.3 antigen in nude mice. This antibody recognises ΔEGFR in both denatured and native states.
