Product Specifications

Immunogen

Partially purified human mucin fraction from a pool of cancer tissues of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.

Localization

Extracellular membrane

Specificity

This antibody reacts specifically with CA125 ovarian cancer antigen. Several studies have shown that CA125 is a useful tumor marker for ovarian epithelial malignancies. However, CA125 has been described in other neoplasms such as seminal vesicle and anaplastic lymphomas.

Background: CA125/MUC16

MUC16 (CA125) is a serum marker that is used routinely in gynecologic practice to monitor patients with ovarian cancer. It is a mullerian duct differentiation antigen that is over expressed in epithelial ovarian cancer cells and secreted into the blood, although its expression is not entirely confined to ovarian cancer. Most biochemical studies have concluded that MUC16 is a high molecular mass glycoprotein, although estimates of its size range from 200 to 2000 kDa with smaller subunits being described by some investigators.
