Abstract
Radioimmunoassay is used to characterize and quantitatively determine CEA in perchloric extracts of human stomach and intestine, normal, foetal or cancerous. High concentrations of CEA were found in primary adenocarcinomas of the colon and in their metastases to liver. CEA could also be detected, in lesser amounts, in six colonic mucosa removed for nonβcancerous diseases, in two specimens of foetal gut and in five out of six gastric carcinomas. On the other hand, CEA could not be found in nonβcancerous gastric mucosa. Comparison of inhibition curves shows that CEA present in nonβcancerous colon and purified CEA isolated from metastatic colonic cancer have the same immunological reactivity.

Recent interest has focused on fucosylated epitopes expressed on human neoplasms. The plant lectin Ulex europus agglutinin, Type I (UEA) binds fucosylated oligosaccharides, while UEA-reactive substances have a tissue distribution similar to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). We sought to determine if U
