Description: CEA is synthesized during development in the fetal gut and is re-expressed in increased amounts in intestinal carcinomas and several other tumors. Antibody to CEA is useful in detecting early foci of gastric carcinoma and in distinguishing pulmonary adenocarcinomas (60-70% are CEA+) from pleural mesotheliomas (rarely or weakly CEA+). Anti-CEA positivity is seen in adenocarcinomas from the lung, colon, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, gallbadder, urachus, salivary gland, ovary, and endocervix.

Immunogen: Human colon carcinoma extract was used as the immunogen for the anti-CEA antibody.

Storage: Store the anti-CEA antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
