Application Notes
This antibody has applications in the detection of normal and neoplastic epithelial cells, and distinguishing carcinomas from non-epithelial neoplasms (Momburg et al, 1987). This antibody has been used in radioimmunoassays on live cells and immunoenzymatic staining assays on glutaraldehyde-fixed cells, as well as in immunoperoxidase staining of frozen and formalin-fixed paraffin tissue sections (Moldenhauer et al, 1987; Momburg et al, 1987). These revealed it to react with most normal human epithelial cells, but not non-epithelial tissue, and to intensely react with human carcinomas and metastatic lesions, but not lymphoma, melanoma, sarcoma or neuroblastoma cell lines (Moldenhauer et al, 1987; Momburg et al, 1987). Squamous cell carcinomas stain less strongly than adenocarcinomas, and keratinizing areas of tumor masses remain negative (Momburg et al, 1987). This antibody has also been used in immunoprecipitation analysis to characterise human EpCAM (Moldenhauer et al, 1987), and in immunohistochemical analysis of EpCAM expression in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded liver tissue sections (Igarashi et al, 2013; Wang et al, 2018) and frozen liver tissue sections (Crosby et al, 1998). Additionally, it has been used in the immunocytochemical detection of EpCAM expression in mononuclear cell preparations obtained from human peripheral blood or lamina propria (Qiao et al, 1996).

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a carcinoma-associated antigen and is a member of a family that includes at least two type I membrane proteins. This antigen is expressed on most normal epithelial cells and gastrointestinal carcinomas and functions as a homotypic calcium-independent cell adhesion molecule. The antigen is being used as a target for immunotherapy treatment of human carcinomas. Mutations in this gene result in congenital tufting enteropathy. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

Uniprot Description

EPCAM: a single-pass type I membrane protein of the EPCAM family. May act as a physical homophilic interaction molecule between intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) at the mucosal epithelium for providing immunological barrier as a first line of defense against mucosal infection. Expressed in almost all epithelial cell membranes but not on mesodermal or neural cell membranes. Found on the surface of adenocarcinomas including pancreatic carcinoma. May be a marker of cancer stem cells.

Product Notes

The EpCAM epcam (Catalog #AAA488693) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-EpCAM [HEA125] reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's EpCAM can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF), Western Blot (WB), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Radioimmunoassay (RIA) (RIA). This antibody has applications in the detection of normal and neoplastic epithelial cells, and distinguishing carcinomas from non-epithelial neoplasms (Momburg et al, 1987).

Additionally, it has been used in the immunocytochemical detection of EpCAM expression in mononuclear cell preparations obtained from human peripheral blood or lamina propria (Qiao et al, 1996). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the EpCAM epcam for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "EpCAM, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
