Cytokeratin 10/13 Antibody

Flow cytometry: 1-2ug/10^6 cells,Immunofluorescence: 1-2ug/ml,Western blot: 1-2ug/ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT

Optimal dilution of the Cytokeratin 10/13 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
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.

This antibody recognizes cytokeratin 10 (56.5kDa) and cytokeratin 13 (53kDa) in Western blotting. It recognizes only cytokeratin 13 in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections. It does not react with cytokeratin 10 positive, cytokeratin 13 negative epithelia such as epidermis. However, on tissue sections this mAb serves as differentiation-related marker of all stratified epithelia; it stains all suprabasal cells in both cornifying and non-cornifying stratified epithelia and more differentiated cells of squamous carcinomas.

A cytoskeletal preparation extracted from human ectocervical epithelium was used as the immunogen for the Cytokeratin 10/13 antibody.

This Cytokeratin 10/13 antibody is available for research use only.
