Description

Glycoproteins isolated from human milk fat globule membranes, designated epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), have been detected immunohistochemically in most nonneoplastic epithelia and are potentially a highly effective marker for establishing the epithelial nature of neoplastic cells.
