Cytokeratin 8/18 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN6941377

Product Details anti-Cytokeratin 8/18 Antibody

Target: Cytokeratin 8/18

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Cytokeratin 8/18 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Staining Methods (StM)

Specificity: Cytokeratin 8 (CK8) belongs to the type II (or B or basic) subfamily of high molecular weight cytokeratins and exists in combination with cytokeratin 18 (CK18). This MAb cocktail recognizes all simple epithelia including glandular epithelium, for example thyroid, female breast, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, and urogenital tract including transitional epithelium. All adenocarcinomas and most squamous carcinomas are positive but keratinizing squamous carcinomas are usually negative. This antibody is useful in demonstrating the presence of Paget cells, there is very little keratin 18 in the normal epidermis so only Paget cells are stained.Immunohistochemical staining with this MAb is indistinguishable from that obtained with monoclonal antibody 5D3.

Purification: Purified by Protein A/G

Immunogen: Cytoskeletal preparation from HeLa epitheliod carcinoma cells (B22.1) and PMC-42 breast carcinoma cells of human origin (B23.1)

Clone: B22-1-B23-1

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes:

Positive Control: MCF-7, HeLa, PMC-42 or A431 cells. Skin, colon, lung or breast carcinoma.

Known Application: Flow Cytometry (0.5-1 μg/million cells), Immunofluorescence (1-2 μg/mL), Western Blot (0.5-1.0 μg/mL), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed) (0.5-1.0 μg/mL for 30 min at RT)(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 minutes)Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.
