Product Name: Cytokeratin 18 Antibody [SPM510]
Species Reactivity: Human
Tested Applications: Flow, IF, IHC, WB
Applications: Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 ug/million cells in 0.1mlImmunofluorescence: 1-2 ug/mlWestern blot: 0.5-1 ug/mlImmunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1 ug/ml for 30 min at RT (1)Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2)The optimal dilution of the anti-Cytokeratin 18 antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
User Note: Optimal dilutions for each application to be determined by the researcher

Background: This mAb reacts with a wide variety of simple epithelia. It does not react with stratified squamous epithelia. It reacts with epithelial tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, lung, breast, pancreas, ovary, and thyroid. Cytokeratin 18, which belongs to the type A (acidic) subfamily of low molecular weight keratins, exists in combination with cytokeratin 8. It was reported that tissues from gastrointestinal tract are positive for both cytokeratin 8 and 18 but do not contain cytokeratin 14. Tissues from gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract and urogenital tract, as well as endocrine and exocrine tissues and mesothelial cells are positive for cytokeratin 18.
