Mouse anti Cytokeratin 7 / Keratin K7

Mouse anti Cytokeratin 7 / Keratin K7, IgG1, Clone: OVTL12/30

Clone: OVTL12/30

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 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: OVTL12/30 is a Mouse monoclonal IgG1/κ antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0-Ag14 Mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c Mouse immunized with a cytoskeletal preparation of OTN-11 ovarian carcinoma cell line.

Specificity: OVTL12/30 reacts exlcusively with Cytokeratin 7 which is present in specific glandular-type epithelia and most carcinomas derived thereof.

Formulation: Each vial contains 100 ul 1 mg/ml purified monoclonal antibody in PBS containing 0.09% sodium azide.
