Physicochemical characteristics of carcinoembryonic antigen extracted from medullary carcinoma of the thyroid. 1980

A Jullienne, and C Calmettes, and M S Moukhtar, and G Milhaud

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and calcitonin (CT) were extracted from medullary carcinoma of the thyroid (MCT) tissues, fractionated on Sephacryl S-200 and chromatographed on Concanavalin A. CEA purified from MCT is closely related to CEA extracted from colonic tumors. It has an equivalent molecular weight, is a glycoprotein and has a similar electrophoretic mobility in both SDS and basic polyacrylamide electrophoresis. A certain degree of heterogeneity is present in the form of a smaller molecular weight component. Large molecular forms of CT which are present in MCT tissues and which co-elute with the minor component of CEA on Sephacryl chromatography can be separated by Concanavalin A chromatography.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D002272 Carcinoembryonic Antigen A glycoprotein that is secreted into the luminal surface of the epithelia in the gastrointestinal tract. It is found in the feces and pancreaticobiliary secretions and is used to monitor the response to colon cancer treatment. Antigens, CD66e,CD66e Antigen,Antigen, CD66e,Antigen, Carcinoembryonic,CD66e Antigens
D002277 Carcinoma A malignant neoplasm made up of epithelial cells tending to infiltrate the surrounding tissues and give rise to metastases. It is a histological type of neoplasm and not a synonym for "cancer."
