Abstract

The histological localization of CEA in gastrointestinal tissues was re‐evaluated after absorption of anti‐CEA antiserum with NCA2, another normal antigen cross‐reacting with CEA. This absorbed antiserum showed clearly the presence of CEA in colonic tumors and some non‐cancerous colonic mucosae, obtained even from non‐cancerous patients. In contrast, some of the gastric adeno‐carcinomas we studied were stained very weakly by absorbed anti‐CEA antiserum, althouth non‐absorbed antiserum (or serum absorbed with NCA alone) labelled them strongly. The same difference in reactivity between both antisera was observed in intestinal metaplasia. The localization of NCA2 was studied with a specific antiserum, previously absorbed with CEA and NCA. NCA2 was found to be a noromal cytoplasmic and mucus‐associated antigen of gastrointestinal tissues. It was present also in fetal stomach and colon. Sections of gastric and colonic tumors as well as intestinal metaplasia of gastric mucosae always reacted brilliantly with absorbed anti‐NCA2 antiserum.

Four human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) family members, CEA (CD66e), non-specific cross-reacting antigen (NCA, CD66c), biliary glycoprotein (BGP, CD66a) and CEA genefamily member 2 (CGM2), are expressed in normal mucosal epithelia of the colon. Expression of BGP and CGM2 has recently been demonstr
