Monoclonal Mouse Antibody to Human CytokeratinThis antibody recognizes keratin polypeptide of 45 and 56 kD. It shows a broad pattern of reactivity with human epithelial tissues from simple glandular epithelia to stratified squamous epithelia. This antibody is of value in the identification of tumor cells as being of epithelial or less commonly of mesothelial origin.
Immunogen

IHC-P
This antibody may be diluted to a titer of 1:25-1:50 in an ABC method. However, depending on the staining conditions employed, we suggest that final dilution should be determined by the user. 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. Enzymatic predigestion of paraffin embedded tissues is recommended prior to the immunostaining.:
