Immunoperoxidase localization of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was performed on tissue sections of colorectal carcinoma using a monoclonal antibody (MAb) against CEA. CEA has been demonstrated in 20 out of 22 rectum carcinomas (90.9%), in all of 23 colonic carcinomas, in none of 4 hyperplastic polyps and in 2 out of 6 adenomatous polyps (33.3%). CEA was found more often, and the intensity of the staining was stronger in well-differentiated carcinomas than in moderately and poorly differentiated carcinomas. No correlation was found between the presence of CEA in colorectal carcinoma and the stages of the disease. The mean values of serum CEA in patients with colorectal carcinoma and polyps with negative, weakly and strongly positive staining were 5.4 +/- 3.9 ng/ml, 28.3 +/- 23.8 ng/ml and 99.8 +/- 145.3 ng/ml respectively. Elevation of serum CEA occurred in 30 out of 39 (78.9%) cases with strongly positive CEA staining, in 4 out of 6 (66.7%) with weakly positive and in 1 out 9 (11.1%) with negative staining. A significant difference was found in serum CEA activity between the group with negative CEA staining and positive CEA staining (P less than 0.01). Our results suggest that the monoclonal antibody (MAb C27) can be used for the localization of CEA in conventionally prepared tissues of colorectal carcinomas by immunoperoxidase techniques for routine immunopathological diagnosis.
