MA1-06312 detects basal cell cytokeratin in human, quail, chicken, rat, rabbit, hamster, canine, and guinea pig samples.
MA1-06312 has sucessfully been used in Western blotting, flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. By Western blotting, it detects a ~300 kDa protein representing basal cell cytokeratin.
The MA1-06312 immunogen is a mix of cell preparations containing human cytokeratins.
Cytokeratin pan is part of a subfamily of intermediate filament proteins that are characterized by remarkable biochemical diversity, and represented in human epithelial tissues by at least 20 different polypeptides. Cytokeratins range in molecular weight between 40 kDa- 68 kDa, and an 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. The composition of cytokeratin pairs vary with the epithelial cell type, stage of differentiation, cellular growth environment, and disease state. Many studies have shown the usefulness of keratins as markers in cancer research and tumor diagnosis.
