Carcinoembryonic antigen–related cell adhesion molecule 1 is expressed and as a function histotype in ovarian tumors

Carcinoembryonic antigen–related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) is a cell-cell adhesion receptor and is implicated in several cellular functions. It is rarely reported in ovarian tumors. The aim of this study is to determine the expression of CEACAM1 in ovarian tumors, trying to see whether CEACAM1 has different expression patterns as a function of histotype. Antigen expression was examined by immunohistochemistry with mouse anti-human antibody for CEACAM1. Immunohistochemistry was performed using avidin-biotin-diaminobenzide staining.
