Mouse anti Cytokeratin 13

Mouse anti Cytokeratin 13, IgG1, Clone: Ks13.1

Clone: Ks13.1

Background: Cytokeratins are a subfamily of intermediate filament proteins and are characterized by a remarkable biochemical diversity, represented in Human epithelial tissues by at least 20 different polypeptides. They range in molecular weight between 40 kDa and 68 kDa and isoelectric pH between 4.9 – 7.8. The individual Human Cytokeratins are numbered 1 to 20. The various epithelia in the Human body usually express Cytokeratins which are not only characteristic of the type of epithelium, but also related to the degree of matuRation or differentiation within an epithelium. Cytokeratin subtype expression patterns are used to an increasing extent in the distinction of different types of epithelial malignancies. The Cytokeratin antibodies are not only of assistance in the differential diagnosis of tumors using immunohistochemistry on tissue sections, but are also a useful tool in cytopathology and flow cytometric assays.

Source: Ks13.1 is a Mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0 Mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c Mouse immunized with a Cytokeratin preparation extracted from Human esophagus.

Specificity: Ks13.1 reacts exclusively with Cytokeratin 13 which is present in non-cornified squamous epithelia, except cornea, and transitional epithelial regions, with the exception of basal cell layers of some stRatified epithelia. As a result the antibody also reacts with neoplasms derived from these epithelia.

Formulation: Each vial contains 1ml of culture supernatant of monoclonal antibody containing 0.09% sodium azide.
