Immunogen
HOUA-1 cells from endometrial cancer.
Application Notes
The antibody binds specifically to CA125, membrane associated glycoprotein which acts as a biomarker for ovarian cancer detection, and is also associated with endometrial, fallopian tube, lung, breast and gastrointestinal tract cancers. CA125 plays an important role in tumorigenesis by enhancing the metastasis of tumour cells, increasing immune system evasion, inducing motility and resistance to chemotherapy. The monoclonal antibody 196-14 can be used for both in vivo and in vitro applications, and potentially in the diagnosis and treatment of endometrial or ovarian cancers expressing high levels of CA125.
