Applications Description:
DE-K18 is useful for immunocytochemistry, immunoblotting, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry on frozen and paraffin-embedded tissues. For staining on paraffin-embedded tissues pretreatment with 0,1% pepsin in 0.1 N HCl 30 min at room temperature is required. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration; recommended range is 1:100 ? 1:200 for flow cytometry, and for immunohistochemistry with avidin-biotinylated Horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagent, and 1:100 ? 1:1000 for immunoblotting applications.
Background:
Cytokeratins are a subfamily of intermediate filament proteins and are characterized by a remarkable biochemical diversity, represented in Human epithelial tissues by at least 20 different polypeptides. They range in molecular weight between 40 kDa and 68 kDa and isoelectric pH between 4.9 ? 7.8. The individual Human Cytokeratins are numbered 1 to 20. The various epithelia in the Human body usually express Cytokeratins which are not only characteristic of the type of epithelium, but also related to the degree of matuRation or differentiation within an epithelium. Cytokeratin subtype expression patterns are used to an increasing extent in the distinction of different types of epithelial malignancies. The Cytokeratin antibodies are not only of assistance in the differential diagnosis of tumors using immunohistochemistry on tissue sections, but are also a useful tool in cytopathology and flow cytometric assays.
Caution:
This product is intended FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY, and FOR TESTS IN VITRO, not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures involving humans or animals.
This product contains sodium azide. To prevent formation of toxic vapors, do not mix with strong acidic solutions. To prevent formation of potentially explosive metallic azides in metal plumbing, always wash into drain with copious quantities of water.
This datasheet is as accurate as reasonably achievable, but Nordic-MUbio accepts no liability for any inaccuracies or omissions in this information.

Source:
DE-K18 is a Mouse monoclonal IgG1, k antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0 Mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a (BALB/c x B6)F1 Mouse immunized with a cytoskeletal preparation extracted from the Human vulvar squamous carcinoma cell line A431.
Specificity:
DE-K18 reacts exclusively with Cytokeratin 18 which is present in glandular epithelial cells of the digestive, respiRatory, and urogenital tracts, endocrine and exocrine cells and mesothelial cells, as well as adenocarcinomas originating from them.
