Product Description

The Human Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is a glycoprotein that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is primarily found in the cells of the gastrointestinal tract during embryonic development, but its expression decreases significantly in healthy adult tissues. CEA is commonly used as a tumor marker for various types of cancer, particularly colorectal cancer. With a molecular weight of approximately 180 kDa, CEA plays a significant role in cell adhesion and is involved in cell signaling pathways. Its measurement in clinical settings aids in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of therapeutic response.

If your product is within its expiration period, and has not performed according to expectations, fill out the sample return form. Return the unused sample frozen, with the auto generated packing slip to the address on the instructions. You will receive a full refund along with a replacement of the unused portion (inclusive of the failed test). Damages do not cover any additional costs incurred for failed experimentation. 

Reconstituted store at -20°C or -80°C.We recommend that single use aliquots are prepared to avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

1. Thaw the vial on ice, spin briefly
2. Prepare single-use or stock aliquots. This stage will depend on your final application so please adapt as appropriate. All our proteins are supplied carrier protein-free. If compatible with your work and you are storing at lower concentrations (<50 ug/ml) adding carrier protein is highly advised (usually 1% w/v high purity BSA or equivalent – ensure all buffers are sterile-filtered).
3. Prepare single-use aliquots whenever possible to avoid freeze-thaw cycles which can damage the proteins and reduce bioactivity. Store aliquots at -70 °C (or -20 °C)
4. We recommend sterile filtering after dilution in media or the final working solution
