Clone: COL-1.
Background: CEA is frequently used as a differential marker for adenocarcinoma and mesothelioma. Carcinoembryonal Antigen (CEA) is a high molecular glycoprotein (180 kD), which is detected in foetal colon and in colorectal carcinoma. It is a component of the s. c. glycocalyx of the embryonal endodermal epithelium. In normal adult colon it is found in very small amount only. In colorectal carcinoma and metastases of intestinal carcinoma however, it is strongly exprimed. Human CEA.
Positive Control: Colon carcinoma.
Immunogen: Colon carcinoma extract from human tissue.
Purification Method: Purified antibody in PBS pH 7.3, contains BSA and sodium azide (0,09%).
Concentration: 5 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!
