Catalog Number: 21-5061
Size: 100 µg
Isotype: Mouse IgG1
Background:
Cytokeratins are a subfamily of intermediate filament proteins and are characterized by a remarkable biochemical diversity, represented in 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 Cytokeratin polypeptides 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.

Clone: M20

Isotype: Mouse IgG1

Source: M20 is a Mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived by fusion of murine myeloma cells with spleen cells from a Mouse immunized with Keratin isolated from the Human breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7.

Reactivity: human, rabbit, rat

Specificity: M20 reacts with glandular epithelial cells (endocrine and exocrine) as well as mesothelial cells and epithelia of the digestive, respiratory and urogenital tract. Also most adenocarcinomas derived from these cells are positive. The M20 epitope has been mapped to amino acids 353-367 on the alpha helical rod domain of Cytokeratin 8 (see reference 10).

Form: Each vial contains 100ul purified monoclonal antibody in PBS containing 0.09% sodium azide.

Applications: Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (frozen), Immunohistochemistry (paraffin), Western blotting

Storage: Store at 4C, or in small aliquots at -20C.
