NCIt 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.;
