Mouse monoclonal [LKH15] to Cytokeratin 15Keratin 15 is a type I keratin without a defined type II partner. Keratin 15 is expressed primarily in the basal keratinocytes of stratified tissues, including the fetal epidermis and fetal nail. Expression of keratin 15 is down regulated in some hyperproliferating situations, such as psoriasis and hypertrophic scars. Because keratinocytes in psoriasis and hypertrophic scars are activated, it is suggested that keratin 15 expression is not compatible with keratinocyte activation and the keratin 15 gene is down regulated to maintain the activated phenotype.

Tested Applications
IHC-P
This antibody may be diluted to a titer of 1:25 to 1:50 in an ABC method. High temperature antigen unmasking with 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 is required prior to immunostaining. We suggest an incubation period of 30 minutes at room temperature. However, depending upon the fixation conditions and the staining system employed, optimal incubation should be determined by the user.:
