This mAb recognises basic (Type II or HMW) cytokeratins, which include 67 kDa (CK1); 64 kDa (CK3); 59 kDa (CK4); 58 kDa (CK5); 56 kDa (CK6); 52 kDa (CK8). Twenty human keratins are resolved with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis into acidic (pI 6.0) subfamilies. The acidic keratins have molecular weights (MW) of 56.5, 55, 51, 50, 50 , 48, 46, 45, and 40 kDa. Many studies have shown the usefulness of keratins as markers in cancer research and tumor diagnosis.

ELISA (For coating order Ab without BSA)Flow Cytometry: 0,5-1 µg/million cells in 0,1 ml Immunofluorescence: 1 - 2 µg/ml Western blot: 0,5 - 1 µg/ml Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0,25-0,5 µg/ml for 30 min at RT (1) Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2) Optimal dilution of the Basic Cytokeratin antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM Citrate buffer, pH 6,0, for 10 - 20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimised for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
