Reactivity: Various Species

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Product Details anti-Cytokeratin 13 Antibody

Purpose: Mouse anti Cytokeratin 13

Specificity: Ks13.1 reacts exclusively with Cytokeratin 13 which is present in non-cornified squamous epithelia, except cornea, and transitional epithelial regions, with the exception of basal cell layers of some stRatified epithelia. As a result the antibody also reacts with neoplasms derived from these epithelia.

Characteristics: 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.

Purification: culture supernatant

Immunogen: Ks13.1 is a Mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0 Mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c Mouse immunized with a Cytokeratin preparation extracted from Human esophagus.

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Ks13.1 is suitable for immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry on frozen tissues and paraffin embedded tissue after protease pretreatment. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Liquid

Buffer: Each vial contains 1 mL of culture supernatant of monoclonal antibody containing 0.09 % sodium azide.

Preservative: Sodium azide

Precaution of Use: This product contains Sodium azide: a POISONOUS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE which should be handled by trained staff only.

Storage: 4 °C,-20 °C

Storage Comment: The antibody is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at +4°C. For prolonged storage prepare appropriate aliquots and store at or below -20°C. Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly in the dark at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at +4°C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance or the concentration of the product.
