BerEp4 IHC Staining Method

**Semantic type:** Laboratory Procedure

**Definition:** An immunohistochemical technique utilizing the mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody BerEp4, which is directed against epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EPCAM). BerEp4 specifically binds to EPCAM, a protein that is selectively expressed in most normal epithelium but not expressed in squamous epithelium and mesothelium. This staining method is used to identify certain cancers and may be used to distinguish neoplasms derived from squamous epithelium and mesothelium from other epithelial-derived neoplasms.
