Background | Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (Ep-CAM) is a transmembrane glycoprotein localized on the membrane of cells in most epithelial tissues.1 Immunoreactivity with the antibody to Ep-CAM has been seen in the majority of epithelial neoplasms, whereas most non-epithelial neoplasms do not show Ep-CAM expression.2 Ep-CAM is not expressed in mesothelial cells, hepatocytes, and lymphocytes.1, 2 In conjunction with other markers, Ep-CAM can be used as an aid in determining neoplasms of epithelial origin, such as distinguishing between lung adenocarcinoma and mesothelioma. |
