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 […]
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 […]
The Cytokeratin 5 (CK5) (R) [EP42] antibody is a rabbit monoclonal antibody raised for the detection of cytokeratin 5, a type II intermediate filament protein. CK5 is expressed in the active basal layers of most stratified squamous epithelia.15 CK5 has been identified as a specific immunohistochemical marker for lung squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC), with minimal […]
Cytokeratin 19 antibody reacts with the rod domain of human keratin 19, a 40kDa polypeptide. The antibody reacts with MCF-7 cells and has been shown to label trichoblastoma, thyroid tumors, oral cancer, and epithelial odontogenic tumors. CK19 is not expressed in most hepatocytes, therefore cytokeratin 19 is useful in the identification of liver metastasis and […]
Cytokeratin 18 (CK18) is a 45 kDa acidic intermediate filament protein. It is normally coexpressed with cytokeratin 8 and is found in most simple ductal and glandular epithelia.15 The antibody reacts with a wide variety of neoplastic tissues such as gastrointestinal tract, lung, and breast tumors;16-18 whereas tumor cells of nonepithelial origin such as glioma, […]

SATB2 (special AT-rich sequence binding 2) is a human DNA-binding protein involved in transcriptional regulation and chromatin remodeling.15,16 SATB2 protein expression in normal human tissue was found in the epithelium of the lower gastrointestinal tract including appendix, colon and rectum. SATB2 protein expression was also found in non–germinal center lymphoid cells, and the ductal epithelium […]
