Description | Specificity: Most polyclonal CEA antisera show cross-reactivity with related antigens such as biliary glycoprotein (BGP) and non-specific cross-reacting antigen 1/11 (NCA). PARLAM 4 does not show cross reactivity, neither with BGP nor with NCA. In immunoblotting the antibody recognizes a single band of 180 kD. This monoclonal antibody is reactive with Human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a tumour associated antigen with oncofetal characteristics. Although CEA can be found in tissues of non-neoplastic diseases and normal epithelia, it occurs also in a large variety of carcinomas. Therefore, immunohistochemical detection of CEA is frequently used for the histopathological diagnosis of Human tumours. |
Immunogen | Source Note: PARLAM 4 is a Mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived by fusion of Sp 2/0 Ag 14 Mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BABL/c Mouse immunized with isolated Human CEA. The immunogen has been isolated from Human colonic carcinoma cells. |
