Host: Mouse

Reactivity: Human

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Catalog no.: ABIN125464

Additional Information

Alternative name: Cytokeratin 5 & 6

Immunogen: BALB/C mice were injected with cytokeratin 5.

Format: Ig-fraction

Isotype: IgG1 kappa  (Matching secondary antibodies)

Clone: D5-16 B4

Specificity: Cytokeratin 5 (58 kD) is a high molecular weight, basic type of cytokeratin expressed in basal, the intermediate and the superficial cell layers of stratified epithelia as well as transitional epithelia, complex epithelia and in mesothelial cells and mesothelioma. Cytokeratin 6 (56 kD) is also a high molecular weight, basic type cytokeratin expressed by proliferating squamous epithelium often paired with cytokeratin 16.

Application Details

Application Notes: Titer/Working Dilution: This antibody may be diluted to a titer of 1:25-1:50 in an ABC method. However, depending on the staining conditions employed, we suggest that final dilution should be determined by the user. Staining Protocol: We suggest an incubation period of 30 minutes at room temperature. However, depending upon the fixation conditions and the staining system employed, optimal incubation should be determined by the end user. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections require high temperature antigen unmasking with 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 prior to immunostaining. Positive Control: Skin. Cellular localization: Cytoplasmic

Concentration: 100ug/ml approximately

Buffer: This antibody is supplied as purified immunoglobulin fraction containing sodium azide as preservative.

Storage: Store the antibody at 2-8o c. Do not use it beyond the expiration date stated on the label.

Research Area: Extracellular Matrix

Restrictions: For Research Use. CE-certified for In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) Use in the European Union
