Epitope retrieval with citrate buffer pH6.0 is recommended for FFPE cell sections.
Over-expression of CEA/CEACAM5 in tumors of epithelial origin is the basis of its wide-spread use as a tumor marker CEACAM1 expression is down-regulated in many tumors indicating a tumor-suppressive function. The anti-tumor effect may be due to inhibition of tumor angiogenesis, possibly by increased secretion of anti-angiogenic molecules from the cells. The function of CEA family members varies widely: they function as cell adhesion molecules, tumor suppressors, regulators of lymphocyte and dendritic cell activation, receptors of Neisseria species and other bacteria.
