Clone: 121 SLE.
Background: CA 19-9 antibody reacts strongly positive with most tumour cell lines of gastrointestinal carcinoma including adenocarcinoma of the stomach, intestine, and pancreas. Positive reactivity was also found in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, adenocarcinoma of the endometrium and the gallbladder as well as in papillary carcinoma of the thyroid glands. Last but not least positive reactivity of lung carcinoma must be mentioned (adenocarcinoma, bronchio-alveolar carcinoma, squamous epithelial carcinoma, and SCLC). Sialyl Lewis a antigen is an oncofetal antigen, which appears during early development of the gastrointestinal tract. After birth it is still detectable in ductus and secretion of intestinal glands, respiratory and reproductive tract. In normal tissue Sialyl Lewis a (CA 19-9) is found in ductal epithelia of the breast, kidney, salivary glands, lung, colon, bile duct, liver, pancreas and prostate gland. Sialyl Lewis a antigen (Cancer Antigen CA 19-9).
Positive Control: Colon carcinoma.
Immunogen: Immunodiffusion precipitate of ovarian cystic mucins with NS19-9-antibody.
Purification Method: Antibody solution in stabilizing phosphate buffer pH 7.3. Contains 0.09 % sodium azide**. The volume is sufficient for at least 100 immunohistochemical tests (100 µl working solution / test). Use appropriate antibody diluent e.g. BIOLOGO Art .No. PU002.
Concentration: 50 µg/ml.

Caution: *These antibodies are intended for in vitro research use only. They must not be used for clinical diagnostics and not for in vivo experiments in humans or animals. ** The preservative sodium azide is known to be poisonous and potentially hazardous to health. It should be handled only by trained staff. Despite of the product's low azide concentration it must be handled with care. Dispose according to regional rules!
