Product Specs

Introduction
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a glycoprotein found in fetal digestive-tract tissues; it plays a role in cell adhesion. CEA production ceases before birth. Elevated CEA levels are found in the serum of individuals with colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, lung, and breast cancers, as well as in heavy smokers, making it a tumor marker. Benign conditions like smoking, infection, inflammatory bowel disease, pancreatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, and some benign tumors (in the equivalent organs affected by cancers with elevated CEA) can also elevate CEA levels. Higher CEA levels are typically observed in men, smokers, and older individuals. CEA levels assist in cancer screening, evaluating recurrent or disseminated disease, and determining the success of surgical tumor removal. They serve as indicators of treatment success. Normal CEA values range from 0.0 to 2.5 ng/ml of serum in non-smokers; exceeding this range may suggest cancer. Pre-treatment levels above 20 ng/ml are associated with metastasized cancer. Benign conditions usually don't elevate CEA levels beyond 10 ng/ml. Successful therapy should normalize elevated CEA levels, but subsequent elevation indicates tumor recurrence. The carcinoembryonic antigen family, part of the immunoglobulin superfamily, consists of 29 genes, with 18 typically expressed.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Production

The Human Recombinant CEA with His Tag is produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells. It is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 659 amino acids and has a molecular mass of approximately 72.3 kDa . The recombinant protein is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at the C-terminus, which facilitates its purification through chromatographic techniques .

Clinical Significance

CEA is an important biomarker in oncology. Its levels are used to screen for cancer, evaluate the recurrence or dissemination of the disease, and determine the success of surgical removal of malignant tumors . Normal CEA levels range from 0.0 to 2.5 ng/ml in non-smokers, and levels above 20 ng/ml before treatment are often associated with metastatic cancer . Monitoring CEA levels post-treatment can help in detecting tumor recurrence .

Applications

The recombinant CEA protein with His tag is used in various research applications, including:

  • ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay): For detecting and quantifying CEA levels in biological samples.
  • SDS-PAGE (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis): For analyzing the purity and molecular weight of the protein.
  • Cell Adhesion Studies: To investigate the role of CEA in cell adhesion and signaling.
Storage and Stability

The recombinant CEA protein is supplied as a sterile, filtered colorless solution. It is formulated in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) with 10% glycerol . For short-term storage, it can be kept at 4°C for 2-4 weeks. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the protein at -20°C with a carrier protein to prevent multiple freeze-thaw cycles .
