Breast Cocktail (CK HMW/p63 + CK7/8/18) is comprised of mouse monoclonal anti-CK HMW and anti-p63 antibodies as well as rabbit monoclonal anti-CK7 and mouse monoclonal anti-CK8/18 antibodies. CK HMW (high molecular weight cytokeratin) is expressed in the cytoplasm of basal cells and myoepithelium of breast tissue (1-4). p63 is a transcription factor present in the […]
High molecular weight cytokeratins are expressed in a variety of normal and neoplastic epithelial tissues.15 p63, a homolog of the tumor suppressor p53, has been identified in proliferating basal cells in the epithelial layers of a variety of tissues, including epidermis, cervix, urothelium and prostate.16 αMethylacyl coenzyme A racemase (AMACR), also known as P504S, is […]
High molecular weight cytokeratins are expressed in a variety of normal and neoplastic epithelial tissues (1). In prostate, CK HMW [34βE12] has been shown to be a useful marker of basal cells of normal glands and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), a precursor lesion to prostatic adenocarcinoma; whereas invasive prostatic adenocarcinoma typically lacks a basal cell […]

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 […]
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 […]
