Monoclonal Antibody to Cytokeratin, Multi (Epithelial Marker)(Clone : KRT/457)(Discontinued)

Twenty human keratins are resolved with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis into acidic (pI 6.0) subfamilies. This antibody recognizes acidic (Type I or LMW) and basic (Type II or HMW) cytokeratins, including 59kDa (CK4); 58kDa (CK5); 56kDa (CK6); 52kDa (CK8); 56.5kDa (CK10); 53kDa (CK13) and 45kDa (CK18). This is a broad-spectrum antibody, which has been reported to differentiate epithelial tumors from non-epithelial tumors. Many studies have shown the usefulness of keratins as markers in cancer research and tumor diagnosis.

Flow Cytometry (0.5-1µg/million cells in 0.1ml); Immunofluorescence (0.5-1.0µg/ml); Western Blot (0.5-1.0µg/ml); Immunohistology (Formalin-fixed) (0.5-1.0µg/ml for 30 min at RT) (Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes); Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.

For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic/therapeutics procedures.
