Product Overview
This rabbit polyclonal antibody recognizes cell adhesion molecule CEACAM5 in human samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ELISA. The predicted molecular weight is 76.8 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 120–200 kDa.
CEACAM5, better known as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, CD66e), is a GPI-anchored glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It mediates cell adhesion with itself and related CEACAMs, and because it is often highly expressed in colorectal and other carcinomas, it is one of the most widely studied tumor-associated antigens.

Validated Applications
| ELISA | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL |
|---|---|
| IHC (paraffin sections) | 0.5–1 µg/mL (Human) |
| Western blot | 0.1–0.5 µg/mL (Human) |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human SW620 cells, human Caco-2 cells, mouse small intestine tissue, mouse stomach tissue, mouse lung tissue, mouse liver tissue, mouse NIH3T3 cells, mouse HEPA1–6 cells, mouse SP20 cells, rat RH35 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 50 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:10000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human colon caner tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Conditions in the example images (IHC): heat-mediated antigen retrieval in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0).
Immunogen
Insect cells-derived human CEA recombinant protein (Position: full).
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. UniProt places cell adhesion molecule CEACAM5 in the cell membrane, apical cell membrane and cell surface. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in columnar epithelial and goblet cells of the colon (at protein level). The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls. A carrier-free (BSA-free) format can be requested; specify it in the order note.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
