• Reactivities: Human
• Host: Mouse
• Isotype: IgG1
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Immunogen: HT-29 colon carcinoma cell line.
• Specificity: Clone HEA125 recognizes Ep-CAM (polypeptide reacting: Mr 40,000 epithelium-specific cell surface glycoprotein).
  HEA125 represents an excellent marker to discriminate epithelial from mesothelial structures. The antigen has been detected in all carcinoma types tested (18 different origins). A subset of squamous cell carcinoma is negative.
  Tested Reactivities on Cultured Cell Lines: All carcinoma cell lines tested so far; particularly strong reaction with colon carcinoma cell lines (HT-29, WiDr, SW1116).
  Polypeptide Reacting: Mr 40,000 human epithelium-specific cell surface glycoprotein (Ep-CAM).

• Background: Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) is a 40 kDa cell surface antigen. This antigen has been identified independently by a number of groups, and has been known by a variety of names. Several monoclonal antibodies have been raised against EpCAM, many of which have been described as tumour specific molecules on carcinomas. EpCAM is a Type 1 transmembrane glycoprotein. It is expressed on the basolateral membrane of cells by the majority of epithelial tissues, with the exception of adult squamous epithelium and some specific epithelial cell types including hepatocytes and gastric epithelial cells. EpCAM expression has been reported to be a possible marker of early malignancy, with expression being increased in tumour cells, and de novo expression being seen in dysplastic squamous epithelium.
• Synonyms: Ep-CAM, Epithelial cell adhesion molecule, GA733-2, EGP314, KSA, TROP1, Trop-1, M1S2, M4S1, MIC18
