EGP40 is a 40-43 kDa transmembrane epithelial glycoprotein, also identified as epithelial specific antigen (ESA), or epithelial cellular adhesion molecule (Ep-CAM). It is expressed on baso-lateral cell surface in most simple epithelia and a vast majority of carcinomas. This antibody has been used to distinguish adenocarcinoma from pleural mesothelioma and hepatocellular carcinoma. This antibody is also useful in distinguishing serous carcinomas of the ovary from mesothelioma.

Immunofluorescent staining of human MCF-7 cells with Ep-CAM antibody (green, clone EGP40/1798) and Reddot nuclear stain (red).
Western blot testing of human MCF7 cell lysate with Ep-CAM antibody (clone EGP40/1798). Expected molecular weight: ~35 kDa (unmodified), 40-43 kDa (glycosylated).
Analysis of HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19, 000 full-length human proteins using Ep-CAM antibody (clone EGP40/1798). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the EGP40/1798 mAb. Z- and S- score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary Ab) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SDs) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If the targets on the HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SDs) between the Z-scores. The S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of an Ab to its intended target.
