Cytokeratin 18 Antibody (Cocktail) - IHC-Prediluted Summary

• Immunogen: Recombinant full-length human KRT18 protein.
• Localization: Cytoplasmic
• Specificity: 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.
• Isotype: IgG
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Mouse
• Gene: KRT18
• Purity: Protein A or G purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin
• Application Notes: Hu-chromosome location: 1q32.2
  Molecular weight of antigen: 90-110kDa
  Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin 0.25 - 0.5 ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT; Staining of formalin-fixed tissues is enhanced by boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10 - 20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. The 7mL size is a pre-diluted size and no additional dilutions are required before using this item for the intended application.
• Theoretical MW: 45 kDa.
  Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.
• Control:

  Cytokeratin 18 Knockout HeLa Cell Lysate
