Description | The E29 antibody can be used for the detection of tumours of epithelial origin. Also squamous cell carcinoma will be stained by E29 especially when derived from the epidermis (which is unreactive in normal tissue). Frequently E29 has been use in parallel to antibodies against cytokeratins, HEA125 (Ep-CAM) or CEA. The antibody binds also to lymphoidal neoplasms e.g. anaplastic large cell lymphomas, which are also CD30 (Ki-1) positive. EMA, Epithelial Membrane Antigen belongs to a group of glycosylated proteins with a molecular mass between 259 and 400 kDa, which are known as human milk fat globules (HMFG). Except in milk fat these membrane proteins have been found in a number of epithelia. The antibody E29 shows high similarity to the reacti |
