CEACAM5/CD66e Antibody (C66/1983R) - Azide and BSA Free Summary

• Description: Prepared in 10mM PBS WITHOUT BSA & azide at 1.0mg/ml. Also available with 0.05% BSA & 0.05% azide.
  
  Antibody with azide - store at 2 to 8 C. Antibody without azide - store at -20 to -80 C. Antibody is stable for 24 months. Non-hazardous.
• Additional Information: Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody
• Immunogen: Recombinant full-length human CEA protein (Uniprot: P06731)
• Localization: Apical cell membrane, Cell membrane, Cell surface
• Specificity: This antibody does not react with nonspecific cross-reacting antigen (NCA) and with human polymorphonuclear leucocytes. It shows no reaction with a variety of normal tissues and is suitable for staining of formalin/paraffin tissues. 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+).

Background

The CD66e (CEA; 180-200 kDa) is a member of carcinoembryonic antigens, immunoglobulin supergene family and consists of a single N domain (structural homology to the immunoglobulin variable) and six immunoglobulin constant-like A (A1, A2, A3) and B domains (B1, B2, B3). Human CD66e is heavily glycosylated GPI anchored protein capable of both homophilic and heterophilic adhesion. Disease relevance: The CD66e may play a role in the process of metastasis of cancer cells. CD66e is found in serum and it is clinically used as a tumor marker for early detection of disease due to its expression in adenocarcinomas - potential target of tumor imaging and drug targeting.
