Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a means for accurately measuring activated EGFR regardless of whether phosphorylation has occurred or not. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof according to the present invention can bind to activated EGFR regardless of whether the activated EGFR is in a phosphorylated form or in a nonphosphorylated form. By carrying out an immunoassay using the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, activated EGFR in a sample can be measured more accurately than by conventional methods. Abnormal activation of EGFR is responsible for the onset of cancer, and is regarded as a therapeutic target. Therefore, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof according to the present invention is also useful for detection of cancers, in particular, cancers to which a molecular target drug(s) whose target is EGFR is(are) to be administered.
