A highly specific HER3 rabbit monoclonal antibody (mAb) developed by use-based Cell Signaling Technology could provide important new information for researchers studying HER2-mediated breast, lung and ovarian tumours.
Although HER2 has been intensively studied for more than 20 years, it has only recently emerged that HER3 may be required for HER2 transformation of normal cells in at least a subset of cancers.

Preclinical research has also recently shown that HER3 activity may be a mechanism that involves tumour cells escaping inhibition.
CST’s HER3 antibody is a rabbit monoclonal and therefore avoids well-known background issues when using mouse antibodies for IHC in mouse xenograft models, which predominate in cancer research.
In addition, extensive testing has confirmed that there is no cross-reactivity with other family members, including EGFR HER2/ErbB2 and HER4/ErbB4 enabling greater confidence in research results.
Using innovative proteomic technologies the study and analysis of the cancer proteome has identified the EML4-ALK fusion, which has been reported in a subset of patients with breast colon and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
