Description

General description

Anti-CEA is employed essentially as a tool to assist in the distinction between adenocarcinoma and epithelioid malignant mesotheliomas,[1] along with other markers such as those against calretinin, CK 5&6, CD15, HBME-1, MOC-31, and Ber-EP4.[1] Another suggested use of anti-CEA is to immunophenotype various metastatic adenocarcinomas as a means of identifying their origin within a panel of different markers.[1] Anti-CEA positivity is seen in adenocarcinomas from the lung, colon, stomach, esophagus, pancreas, gallbadder, urachus, salivary gland, ovary, and endocervix.[2][3] Polyclonal anti-CEA is useful in staining hepatocellular carcinoma in a canalicular pattern.[2][4]
