Product Specific Information
61531 is a mixture of monoclonal antibodies that target Cytokeratin 5/8.
C 22 represents an excellent marker for distinguishing carcinomas from all non-epithelial tumors. The antibody specifically reacts with keratins K5 and K8 present in nearly all epithelia. Polypeptide reacting: MW 52 500, MW 58 000 keratins (type II keratins K5 and K8; formerly also designated cytokeratins 5 and 8) of human epithelial cells. This antibody was used in a Direct ELISA.
Target Information
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.
