CEA / CD66e Ab-2, Product code RB-368-R7, RB-368-R1; 7 ml each. Description  Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), is synthesized during development in the fetal gut, and is re-expressed in increased amounts in intestinal carcinomas and several other tumors. Antibody to CEA is reportedly useful in identifying the origin of various metastatic adenocarcinomas and in distinguishing pulmonary adenocarcinomas (60-70% are CEA+) from pleural mesotheliomas (rarely or weakly CEA+). This product is intended for qualitative immunohistochemistry with normal and neoplastic formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections, to be viewed by light microscopy.

Class I - Dangerous

Certain lots of CEA/CD66e Ab2 were produced with a dilution factor of 1:100 instead of the recommended 1:250.

Thermo Scientific p21 WF1 Ab-3 (DCS-60.2) 1 ml (0.4mg/ml): Product code: MS-230-P and MS-230P0; Hematology: p21WAF1/Cip1/Sdi1/Pic1 is a tumor suppressor protein. Expression of p21WAF1 is induced by wild type, but not mutant, p53 suppressor protein. The p21WAF1 protein binds to cyclin/CDK complexes and inhibits their kinase activity thereby stopping cell cycle progression. It also binds to PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) and blocks DNA replication but not the DNA repair process. Product is intended for qualitative immunohistochemistry with normal and neoplastic formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections, to be viewed by light microscopy.

Class I - Dangerous

It was discovered that the labeling of MS-230 antibody incorrectly describes the concentration - label reads 0.2mg/ml but it is actually 0.4 mg/ml.
