ENG Monoclonal Antibody

The ENG monoclonal antibody is produced by employing a synthesized peptide derived from human CD105 protein as an immunogen. B cells are isolated from the immunized mouse and then fused with myeloma cells. This results in hybridoma cells that are subsequently screened to identify the cell line producing the ENG antibody. The CD105 monoclonal antibody is affinity-purified from mouse ascites through affinity-chromatography using a specific immunogen. The purified antibody is an unconjugated IgG2b, Kappa. It demonstrates the ability to recognize human ENG protein in ELISA and IHC applications.

Endoglin (ENG), also known as CD105, is primarily expressed on endothelial cells and plays a critical role in angiogenesis. Endoglin functions as a co-receptor for TGF-β1 and TGF-β3, binding to these cytokines and enhancing their signaling activity in endothelial cells. It also interacts with other cell surface receptors, such as integrins, and extracellular matrix proteins, facilitating cell adhesion and migration. Furthermore, Endoglin has been shown to regulate vascular permeability, participate in vascular inflammation, and modulate cellular responses to oxidative stress.
