Anti-EGFR Monoclonal Antibody EMD 55900

Preferred Label : Anti-EGFR Monoclonal Antibody EMD 55900;

NCIt synonyms : Monoclonal Antibody 425; Mab 425; EMD 55900;

NCIt definition : A murine monoclonal antibody targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exhibiting anti-tumor activity. EMD 55900 antibody binds to the extracellular domain of EGFR close to the EGF binding domain and does not induce any tyrosine kinase activity on its own. As a result, EMD 55900 binding inhibits receptor activation by natural ligands thereby interrupting activation of downstream signaling cascade, required for tumor cell growth and proliferation.;

Molecule name : EMD 55900; EMD 55 900;
