Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) is found in several adenocarcinomas, such as colon, lung, breast, stomach and pancreas. Malignant mesothelioma is usually negative for CEA.The antibody is a useful tool for the identification of colon carcinomas, and for the distinction of mesothelioma from adenocarcinoma when used with a panel of antibodies (e.g. with Cytokeratin, Calretinin, etc.)
