Product Details anti-Cytokeratin 18 Antibody

Target: Cytokeratin 18 (KRT18) (Keratin 18 (KRT18))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Cytokeratin 18 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Specificity: RCK106 reacts exclusively with cytokeratin 18 in glandular epithelial cells of the digestive, respiratory, and urogenital tracts, endocrine and exocrine cells and mesothelial cells, as well as adenocarcinomas originating from them.

Purification: Purified

Immunogen: RCK106 is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a mouse immunized with cytokeratins from the human bladder carcinoma cell line T24.

Target Details for Cytokeratin 18

Target: Cytokeratin 18 (KRT18) (Keratin 18 (KRT18))

Alternative Name: Cytokeratin 18 / Keratin K18 (KRT18 Products)

Background: Cytokeratins are a subfamily of intermediate filament proteins and are characterized by a remarkable biochemical diversity, represented in human epithelial tissues by at least 20 different polypeptides. They range in molecular weight between 40 kDa and 68 kDa and isoelectric pH between 4.9 - 7.8. The individual human cytokeratins are numbered 1 to 20. The various epithelia in the human body usually express cytokeratins which are not only characteristic of the type of epithelium, but also related to the degree of maturation or differentiation within an epithelium. Cytokeratin subtype expression patterns are used to an increasing extent in the distinction of different types of epithelial malignancies. The cytokeratin antibodies are not only of assistance in the differential diagnosis of tumors using immunohistochemistry on tissue sections, but are also a useful tool in cytopathology and flow cytometric assays.
