Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human Skin stained with Cytokeratin, 5/6/18 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (LP34).
SDS-PAGE Analysis Purified Cytokeratin, 5/6/18 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (LP34). Confirmation of Purity and Integrity of Antibody.
It recognizes polypeptides of 58kDa, 56kDa, and 45kDa, identified as cytokeratin 5, 6, and 18 respectively. It shows no reaction with keratin 1, 8, or 19. This MAb shows a broad pattern of reactivity with epithelial tissues, from simple glandular epithelia to stratified squamous epithelia. Epithelial cells are labeled whether they are ectodermal, mesodermal, or endodermal in origin. This MAb is useful in detecting cells of epithelial origin in mixed tumors, in effusions, in bone marrow samples, or in tissue culture cells.
