CloneID: C242
Antigen Long Description: The original antibody was generated by immunizing mice with human colonic adenocarcinoma cell line.
Buffer Composition: PBS only.
Specificity Statement: This antibody binds CA242, which is a carbohydrate tumor marker, closely related, but not identical, to CA 19-9 and CA 50. It is commonly tested along with CEA, CA19-9 for detecting pancreatic cancer. This protein is overexpressed in malignant tumors and has been clinically used as a diagnostic biomarker for pancreatic, colorectal and other cancers.
Application Notes (Clone): This antibody is recommended for use in immunohistochemical staining of tissue samples of colorectal and pancreatic cancers (US5552293A).
