Multi Cytokeratin Antibody

• Catalog Number: orb606503
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: Twenty human keratins are resolved with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis into acidic (pI 6.0) subfamilies. This mAb recognizes acidic (Type I or LMW) and basic (Type II or HMW) cytokeratins, including 59kDa (CK4); 58kDa (CK5); 56kDa (CK6); 52kDa (CK8); 56.5kDa (CK10); 53kDa (CK13) and 45kDa (CK18). This is a broad-spectrum mAb which has been reported to differentiate epithelial tumors from non-epithelial tumors. Many studies have shown the usefulness of keratins as markers in cancer research and tumor diagnosis.
• Clonality: Recombinant
• Species/Host: Rabbit
• Isotype: Rabbit IgG, kappa
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Reactivity: Human
• Immunogen: A Keratin-enriched preparation from cultured human epithelial cells was used as the immunogen for the recombinant Multi Cytokeratin antibody.
• Tested applications: IF, IHC-P
• Dilution range: Immunofluorescence: 1-2ug/ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Application notes: Optimal dilution of the recombinant Multi Cytokeratin antibody should be determined by the researcher.1.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.
• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Clone Number: KRT/1877R
• Formula: 0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced) and 0.05% sodium azide
• Storage: Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
• Note: For research use only
