CD47 has been shown to have a role in both cell adhesion by acting as an adhesion receptor for THBS1 on platelets, and in the modulation of integrins.15 In the brain, it appears to play an important role in memory formation and synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus.16 CD47 is a receptor for SIRPA, binding to […]
CDX2 is a homeobox gene that encodes an intestine-specific transcription factor (1). CDX2 has been useful to establish gastrointestinal origin of metastatic adenocarcinomas and carcinoids and can be especially useful in distinguishing metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma from tumors of unknown origin (1-7). CDX2 has been shown to be more specific and more sensitive than villin or […]
The COPY CONTROL 17 CLEAR-VIEW FISH™ direct labeled probe consists of highly repeated human α-satellite DNA sequences located at the centromere region of chromosome 17. The probe is designed to detect copy numbers of chromosome 17. The COPY CONTROL 17 CLEAR-VIEW FISH™ direct FISH Probe is labeled in your choice of CYMO-ORANGE, CYMO-GREEN, CYMO-RED or […]
CDH17 (Cadherin 17 or LI-cadherin) is a novel oncogene which is involved in tumor invasion and metastasis and is expressed in intestinal epithelium.15,16 CDH17 is a highly specific marker in colon cancer (99/99, 100%) and is a more sensitive marker than CDX2 (93/99, 94%) and CK20 (91/99, 92%).17 Overexpression of CDH17 (and conversely, underexpression of […]
![Colon cancer stained with Pan Cytokeratin [Lu-5] antibody](https://biocare.net/wp-content/uploads/lw.jpg)
Pan Cytokeratin [Lu-5] antibody is has been demonstrated as a useful marker for the differentiation of epithelial and mesothelial cells from mesenchymal cells in normal and tumor tissues. It has been shown to serve as a first-order pan cytokeratin antibody for both acidic (type I) and basic (type II) cytokeratin subfamilies of all vertebrates tested […]

AE1/AE3 recognizes the acidic and basic (Type I and II) subfamilies of cytokeratins. The cocktail of these two antibodies can be used to detect most human epithelia. The acidic cytokeratins have molecular weights of 56.5, 55, 51, 50, 50, 48, 46, 45, and 40 kDa. The basic cytokeratins have molecular weights of 65-67, 64, 59, […]
Pan Cytokeratin antibody Plus is a combination of [AE1/AE3] and Cytokeratin (CK) 8/18 [5D3] and can be used to detect most human epithelia. [AE1/AE3] recognizes acidic and basic subfamilies of cytokeratins, with molecular weights ranging from 40 to 67 kDa. CK8/18 [5D3] recognizes Cytokeratin 8 and 18 intermediate filament proteins. In normal tissues, [5D3] recognizes […]
CK17 antibody reacts with a 40kDa polypeptide and CK17 is a type I keratin. Studies have shown that it is indicated as an excellent marker for the identification of squamous cell carcinomas in various tissues including the cervix, lung, and oral cavity.18 CK17 may be helpful to aid in distinguishing myoepithelial cells from luminal epithelium […]
Cytokeratin 5/14 Cocktail, 2X is being discontinued. We will continue to offer these products until 06/30/16 or until current inventory is depleted, whichever occurs first. Biocare does offer Cytokeratin 5/14 Cocktail, catalog numbers ACI3025 & API3025 as a substitute. CK5 [XM26] has been shown to have positive reactivity for CK5 protein and lack of reactivity […]
CK5 is distributed in many non-keratinizing stratified squamous epithelia such as tongue mucosa, basal epithelia, hair follicles, trachea, as well as basal cells in prostate glands and myoepithelial cells in mammary glands.15-19 CK5 is also expressed in most epithelial and biphasic mesotheliomas. CK5 has also been noted in large cell carcinomas and pulmonary squamous cell […]
