Soluble EpCAM levels in ascites correlate with positive cytology and neutralize catumaxomab activity in vitro

BACKGROUND: EpCAM is highly expressed on membrane of epithelial tumor cells and has been detected as soluble/secreted (sEpCAM) in serum of cancer patients. In this study we established an ELISA for in vitro diagnostics to measure sEpCAM concentrations in ascites. Moreover, we evaluated the influence...
