English term or phrase: PEM
I ran into this acronym in a press relase concerning cnacer therapy. The sentence reads, "...which uses the enzyme DNase in combination with ... antibody to kill cancer cells that express PEM."
Neither my dictionaries nor the acronym sources I use give an explanation.

Tnhanks for any help.
