Epcam antibody

Manufactured by BioLegend
Sourced in United States

The EpCAM antibody is a laboratory reagent used for the identification and detection of EpCAM (Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule), a cell surface glycoprotein expressed on epithelial cells. This antibody can be used in various analytical techniques, such as flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry, to study the expression and distribution of EpCAM in biological samples.

Isolation of Colonic Epithelial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the extraction of colonic epithelial cells, normal or Salmonella-infected colon tissues of C56/B6 mice were collected from the mouse model (5 mice per group). After three washes with sterile PBS, the colonic lumens were injected and filled with trypsin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 25,200,072). The two ends of the colon lumen were sealed with surgical thread ties and incubated in a cell incubator for 1 h at 37°C. After digestion, these epithelial cells in the colonic lumen could be pipetted and ejected. Then, a 10% FBS was added to the cell suspensions, and the colonic epithelial cells and non-epithelial cell colon tissues were obtained. After centrifugation and two washes with ice-cold PBS, these newly isolated epithelial cells were cultured in DMEM (10% FBS) for approximately 30–60 min. The suspended epithelial cells in the culture medium were then collected for further determination. The purity of epithelial cells was determined by flow cytometry using EpCAM antibodies (Biolegend, 118,207), a marker of epithelial cells.

Flow Cytometry Analysis of EpCAM Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
EpCAM surface expression on tumor cells was determined using flow cytometry. All tumor cell samples (105 cells) were incubated with either an APC-conjugated isotype or APC-conjugated EpCAM antibodies (1:100 dilution; Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA) for 1 h at 4°C. Cell were then washed twice with buffer and EpCAM expression was assessed using an Accuri C6 flow cytometer (Accuri Cytometers Incorporated, Ann Arbor, MI, USA). Flow cytometry plots were generated using Accuri CFlow Plus and FlowJo Software (Treestar, Inc., San Carlos, CA, USA).

Two slides from patient UM-001 were stained with pan-cytokeratin (CK) and CD45 antibodies as described above with DAPI24 (link) complemented with a monoclonal EpCAM antibody (1:250, 324202, Biolegend, San Diego, CA; Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG2b secondary antibody, 1:500, A21141, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) at Epic Sciences. CTCs were identified with standard image analysis protocols25 (link)–35 (link).

Isolation of Murine Pancreatic Tumor Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Murine pancreatic tumor was harvested, minced and digested as described in murine pancreatic spheres section with a longer digestion time (2 hr). Red blood cells were lysed (ACK Lysing Buffer) before passing through a 40 μm nylon mesh. Filtered single cells were incubated with EpCAM antibody (Biolegend). DAPI (4′,6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole, Dihydrochloride) was used to exclude dead cells. Cells were sorted by FACSAria II (BD Biosciences) and used for subsequent experiments.

Isolating Luminal Prostate Cells for ATAC-seq and RNA-seq

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intraperitoneal injection of TAM was administered in 8-week-old mouse. Two weeks after TAM treatment, mouse prostate was digested 1 hour with collagenase/hyaluronidase (STEMCELL Technologies, no. 07912) and then 30 min with TrypLE Express Enzyme (Thermo Fisher Scientific, no. 12605028) at 37°C to isolate single prostate cells. The prostate cells were stained with phycoerythrin/cyanine 7–conjugated anti-mouse CD326 (EPCAM) antibody (BioLegend, 118216), and then, CD326 and EYFP double-positive cells were sorted out by flow cytometry, which are luminal cells mainly from anterior prostate and dorsal prostate. The mRNA or genomic DNA was extracted from these double-positive cells and then was used for ATAC-seq and RNA-seq analysis.

CD11b+ monocytes were sorted from tumor single cell suspension using
MACS Miltenyi. The sorted cells (1 X 103) were smeared on glass
slides using cytospin. The cells were fixed, permeabilized and stained with
F4/80 antibody (Bio-Red), Epcam antibody (Biolegend) followed by proper
Alexa-floor tagged secondary antibody. The F4/80+ macrophages double positive
for Epcam were identified as phagocytic macrophages using confocal microscope
(Zeiss LCM 7100). The number of macrophages per smear was counted manually.

Flow cytometry-based detection of SA-β-galactosidase was performed as described previously [28 (link)]. Briefly, pmATII cells from PBS- and bleomycin-treated animals were incubated with bafilomycin A1 (100 nM; Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY, USA) and C12FDG (20 nM; Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 1 and 2 h, respectively, directly after isolation or at day 2 of culture. Cells were washed once and stained for allophycocyanin-conjugated epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) antibody (118214; BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) for 20 min at room temperature, washed once and analysed using a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (LSRII; BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
