EpCAM/Epithelial Specific Antigen (MOC-31) – MMab

For In Vitro Diagnostic Use

Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule/EpCAM, consists of two 34 and 39 kD glycoproteins. These glycoproteins are located on the cell membrane surface and in the cytoplasm of virtually all epithelial cells with the exception of most squamous epithelia, hepatocytes, renal proximal tubular cells, gastric parietal cells and myoepithelial cells.
Anti-MOC-31 antibody has been used to distinguish adenocarcinoma from mesothelioma and hepatocellular carcinoma. This antibody is also useful in distinguishing serous carcinomas of the ovary from mesothelioma..

Antibody Type: Mouse Monoclonal
Clone: MOC-31
Isotype: IgG1/K
Reactivity: Paraffin, Frozen
Localization: Cytoplasmic
Control: Adenocarcinomas

EpCAM/Moc-31 is a mouse monoclonal antibody derived from cell culture supernatant that is concentrated, dialyzed, filter sterilized and diluted in buffer pH 7.5, containing BSA and sodium azide as a preservative.
