Background
Epithelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (EpCAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates cell - cell adhesion in epithelia. It is normally present on most baso - lateral surfaces of normal epithelial cells and is absent in myoepithelial cells, hepatocytes, adult squamous epithelia, mesothelial cells, and fibroblasts. Anti - EpCAM stains most adenocarcinomas and neuroendocrine tumours, including small cell carcinomas. A minority of renal clear cell carcinoma, renal oncocytoma, and hepatocellular carcinoma stain positively for EpCAM, while Anti - EpCAM stains nearly all basal cell carcinoma. Anti - EpCAM stains chromophobe renal cell carcinoma, papillary renal cell carcinoma, and cholangiocarcinoma more frequently. Anti - EpCAM can be useful for distinguishing malignancy in the peritoneal and pleural cavities.
Application
To ensure optimal assay performance, AREX recommends conducting reagent titration tailored to each testing system for optimal detection results.
*Results are sample-specific. Please refer to your local assay conditions and test parameters for reference.

FAQs
Are the pathology antibodies provided by AREX raw antibodies or ready-to-use solutions?
AREX Biosciences specializes in supplying high-quality IHC pathology raw antibodies (Raw Antibodies). We do not manufacture ready-to-use working solutions or IVD diagnostic reagents. We mainly provide concentrated raw materials to pathology reagent manufacturers and diagnostic platform companies to support product development and OEM production.
What development scenarios are pathology raw antibodies mainly used for?
Our raw antibodies are primarily used for the research, performance optimization, validation, and commercial-scale production of pathology IHC detection reagents. They are also suitable for companion diagnostics (CDx) projects and antibody screening.
How can I evaluate whether a raw antibody is suitable for our staining platform?
It is recommended to focus on specificity, sensitivity, background control, and performance on your target automated platforms (such as Roche Ventana, Leica Bond, Agilent Dako, etc.). We can provide internal test data for reference, but we recommend partners perform actual validation on their own platforms.
Can you provide samples for platform validation?
Yes. We can provide validation samples depending on the specific product. Some products may be provided free of charge, while others may involve a small sample fee. Handling fee and shipping fee will be charged separately. Please contact us for detailed confirmation.
How should raw antibodies be paired with detection systems?
AREX raw antibodies can be used with various polymer detection systems and ancillary reagents. We recommend optimization in combination with the ARExVisual® system or your existing detection platform to achieve better signal intensity and background control.
