Specificity
This antibody specifically recognizes human estrogen receptor beta 5 (ERB5), a splice variant of the nuclear receptor hormone ERbeta (ESR2), shown to exist in at least five isoforms (ERB1-ERB5). Although only the ERB1 variant appears fully functional, the remaining isoforms have been shown to form heterodimers with ERB1, thereby enhancing transcription.
Immunohistochemical studies have revealed a ubiquitous expression of ERB5 in normal colorectal tissue, and to be present in all primary colorectal carcinomas studied, see Wong, N. et al. for details.
The detection of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors using immunohistochemical staining of formal fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue, has gradually replaced ligand binding assays (LBA), to become the most common method for the determination of the ER/PR status of breast tumors. Approximately 75% to 80% of breast tumors have estrogen and/or progesterone receptors, and the presence of these receptors helps determine both the patient's prognosis and the effectiveness of hormonal therapy
