Product name: | Mouse Monoclonal to Basic Cytokeratins |
Antigen: | Basic Cytokeratins |
Clonality: | Monoclonal |
Clone: | AE3 |
Isotype: | IgG1 |
Immunogen: | Human epidermal keratins |
Format: | purified |
Specificity: | Mouse monoclonal antibody AE3 recognizes all basic type cytokeratins, namely K1-K8 (58-67 kDa). This antibody reacts with all layers of epidermis (basal layer and above) and is an excellent marker for distinguishing carcinomas from non-epithelial tumours. |

Storage / stability: | Store at 2-8°C. Do not freeze. Do not use after expiration date stamped on vial label. |
Background: | Cytokeratins are a subfamily of intermediate filaments and are characterized by remarkable biochemical diversity. Cytokeratins are represented in epithelial tissues by at least 20 different polypeptides, molecular weight between 40 kDa and 68 kDa. The individual cytokeratin polypeptides are designated 1 to 20 and divided into the type I (acidic cytokeratins 9-20) and type II (basic to neutral cytokeratins 1-8) families. |
Purity: | > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) |
