Cytokeratin LMW (8/18)
Clone 5D3 recognizes cytokeratin (CK) 8 and 18 intermediate filament proteins. These are 52.5 kD and 45kD respectively. In normal tissues, 5D3 recognizes all simple and glandular epithelium. In neoplastic tissues, 5D3 may prove useful for the identification of adenocarcinomas and some squamous cell carcinomas. Use in conjunction with HMW CK to rule out squamous cell carcinoma. Keratinizing squamous carcinomas are generally negative. It works well in formalin-fixed, paraffinembedded tissue sections.
