Cytokeratin Antibody, Multi 4/5/6/8/10/13/18

SKU: orb248639

Description

This antibody recognizes multi cytokeratins: 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, and 18. It is a broad-spectrum cytokeratin antibody which has been reported to be used to differentiate epithelial tumors from non-epithelial tumors. Many studies have shown the usefulness of cytokeratin markers in cancer research and tumor diagnosis.

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: FACS, IF, IHC-P, WB
• Dilution Range: Flow cytometry: 1-2ug/million cells,Immunofluorescence: 1-4ug/ml,Western blot: 1-2ug/ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
• Application Notes:
  The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the Multi Cytokeratin antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
