Cell recognition and adhesion, being of prime importance for the formation and integrity of tissues, are mediated by cell adhesion molecules, which can be divided into several distinct protein superfamilies. The cell adhesion molecule C-CAM (cell-CAM 105) belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily, a
## Abstract MAb E4 recognizes a 66βkDa glycoprotein, pE4, which is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. This protein is expressed at the cell surface in rat colon and mammary carcinomas, but only in trace amounts in normal adult rat tissues. Since expression of aberrant carbohydrate str
