EBA distribution in tumour and normal tissues was investigated using immunochemical method. The antigen was found in spleen, kidney and mammary gland extracts, as well as in the extracts of the malignant stomach tissue, throat, kidney, urinary bladder, testicles, i.e. this antigen can be secreted into blood in some forms of malignant neoplasia and is, consequently, a tumour-associated antigen. Further investigations will show, if this protein can be used for the diagnosis of malignant diseases.
