Further Information

Application Note:
Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 ug/million cells in 0.1ml

Immunofluorescence: 0.5-1 ug/ml

Western blot: 0.5-1 ug/ml

Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1 ug/ml for 30 min at RT (1)

Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

Optimal dilution of the Cytokeratin 5/8 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. For staining of formalin-fixed tissues, digest sections with Trypsin at 1mg/ml PBS, 15 min at RT
2. 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.

Background:
It reacts with keratin 5 (58kDa) and keratin 8 (52.5kDa). Simple epithelia express cytokeratin 8 in combination with 18. On the other hand, basal cells of stratified epithelia express cytokeratin 5 paired with 14. This antibody therefore, reacts with a wide range of epithelia and their carcinomas.
Buffer:
PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA and 0.05% sodium azide
Concentration:
0.2 mg/mL
Conjugate:
Unconjugated
DISCLAIMER:
