Cytokeratin 5/6 reacts with human epidermis and non-keratinizing epithelium as determined by immunoblotting. It also reacts with cytokeratin No. 6, and weakly reacts with cytokeratin No. 4. It does not react with cytokeratins 1, 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, 18 and 19. CK5/6 has been shown to be a reliable marker for mesothelioma and squamous cell carcinoma of the lung.
