CEA antibody (full length)

Catalog No. ABIN3026768

This Mouse Monoclonal antibody specifically detects CEA in IHC (p). It exhibits reactivity toward Human.

Quick Overview for CEA antibody (full length) (ABIN3026768)

Target: CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen Gene Family (CEA))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CEA antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Grade: Carrier-free

Clone: C66-1009

Product Details anti-CEA Antibody

Binding Specificity: full length

Purpose: CEA Antibody / CEACAM5 (azide and preservative free)

Characteristics: This antibody recognizes proteins of 80-200 kDa, identified as different members of the CEA (Carcinoembryonic Antigen) family. CEA is synthesized during development in the fetal gut and is re-expressed in increased amounts in intestinal carcinomas and several other tumors. This antibody does not react with nonspecific cross-reacting antigen (NCA) and with human polymorphonuclear leucocytes. The antibody shows no reaction with a variety of normal tissues and is suitable for staining of formalin/paraffin tissues. CEA is not found in benign glands, stroma, or malignant prostatic cells. 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+). CEA antibody positivity is seen in adenocarcinomas from the lung, colon, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, gallbadder, urachus, salivary gland, ovary, and endocervix.

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Human full-length recombinant CEA protein was used as the immunogen for this antibody.

Isotype: IgG2a, kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues REQUIRES boiling tissue sections in pH 9 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
3. Clone C66/1009 (recommended detect) will pair with clones < a href=../tds/cea-antibody-c661030-v2375>C66/1030 and < a href=../tds/cea-antibody-c66261-v2088>C66/261 (recommended capture) by ELISA.
