  • Product overview

    ab108635 Carcino embryonic Antigen Human ELISA Kit is intended for the quantitative determination of Carcino embryonic Antigen concentration in human serum.

    Carcino embroyonic antigen (CEA) is a cell-surface 200-kd glycoprotein. In 1969, it was reported that plasma CEA was elevated in 35 of 36 patients with adenocarcinoma of the colon and that CEA titers decreased after successful surgery. Normal levels were observed in all patients with other forms of cancer or benign diseases. Subsequent studies have not confirmed these initial findings, and it is now understood that elevated levels of CEA are found in many cancers. Increased levels of CEA are observed in more than 30% of patients with cancer of the lung, liver, pancreas, breast, colon, head or neck, bladder, cervix, and prostate. Elevated plasma levels are related to the stage and extent of the disease, the degree of differentiation of the tumor, and the site of metastasis. CEA is also found in normal tissue.

     

    Average Recovery (from 6 experiments) = 95.9%
    The minimum detectable sensitivity of ab108635 as measured by 2 SD from the mean of a 0.5, 0.75, 1, and 3 ng/mL calibrator is estimated to be 1.0 ng/mL.

Properties

  • RelevanceCarcino Embryonic Antigen (CEA) is synthesised during development in the fetal gut, and is re-expressed in increased amounts in intestinal carcinomas and several other tumors. Antibodies to CEA are useful in identifying the origin of various metastatic adenocarcinomas and in distinguishing pulmonary adenocarcinomas (60 to 70% are CEA+) from pleural mesotheliomas (rarely or weakly CEA+).

      Sorry for bothering you again, but I was wondering if you happen to know if there is an anti-CEA antibody available in you company that is HRP-conjugated? In the report of a PhD student before me I read that she purchased anti-CEA coated with HRP from Abc...

      Thank you for your new enquiry and continuous interest in our products.

      I have conducted a search for you and we have FITC and PE-conjugated antibodies but not HRP-linked primary antibody against CEA.

      However, we have two CEA ELISA kit...

      is there any information regarding detection of mouse proteinwith this kit?

      Thank you for your e-mail. We do not have experience with the determination of CEA in mouse with our CEA ELISA, ab108635. It could work but I cannot give you a guarantee.

      In this case I would be happy to offer the same testing discount promotion...

      Dear technical team, Our customer would like to purchase CEA ELISA kit and alpha Fetoprotein ELISA Kit. She has searched ab108631, ab108838, ab108635, ab99992 and asked well plate type.   Is it strip type or one plate type?  

      Thank you for contacting us. I can confirm that all the mentioned kits (ab99992, ab108631, ab108635, ab108838) come with a 96-well strip plate (12x8).  Each strip (12 total) has 8 wells so the customer can use a strip at a time if they wish. I hop...
