Cytokeratin 18 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN3026950

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: Immunofluorescence (IF), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

No Cross-Reactivity: Mouse (Murine), Rat (Rattus), Sheep (Ovine), Hamster, Cow (Bovine), Dog (Canine), Pig (Porcine)

Characteristics: This mAb reacts with a wide variety of simple epithelia. It does not react with stratified squamous epithelia. It reacts with epithelial tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, lung, breast, pancreas, ovary, and thyroid. Cytokeratin 18, which belongs to the type A (acidic) subfamily of low molecular weight keratins, exists in combination with cytokeratin 8. It is reported that tissues from gastrointestinal tract are positive for both cytokeratin 8 and 18 but do not contain cytokeratin 14. Tissues from gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract and urogenital tract, as well as endocrine and exocrine tissues and mesothelial cells are positive for cytokeratin 18.

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Recombinant full-length human KRT18 protein was used as the immunogen for the Cytokeratin 18 antibody.

Clone: KRT18-835

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Optimal dilution of the Cytokeratin 18 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10  mM Citrate buffer,  pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.\. Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 μg/million cells in 0.1ml,Immunofluorescence: 1-2 μg/mL,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1 μg/mL for 30 min at RT (1),Prediluted format : incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

Restrictions: For Research Use only
