EpCAM antibodies are commonly used to detect epithelial cells in flow cytometry, for example, for detecting leptomeningeal metastasis of solid tumors in liquor (Milojkovic Kerklaan et al., 2016) or isolating epithelial cells from normal and tumor tissue (Bantikassegn et al., 2015; Sinha and Lowell, 2016). This evidence concerns the gene EPCAM and neoplasm.
