Monoclonal Anti-Cytokeratin, pan antibody produced in mouse clone C-11, ascites fluid

Monoclonal Anti-Pan Cytokeratin (clone C-11) recognizes human cytokeratins 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13 and 18 in immunoblotting. The antibody reacts with simple, cornifying and non-cornifying squamous epithelia and pseudostratified epithelia. It does not react with non-epithelial normal human tissues. This antibody can be applied to methanol or acetone-fixed, frozen sections, and to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tissues. Increased staining intensity is seen following proteolytic treatment of formalin fixed tissue. Similarly, methacarn-fixed material is also suitable for cytokeratin demonstration. Monoclonal Anti-Pan cytokeratin exhibits a wide interspecies cross-reactivity (e.g., human, bovine, rat, frog).
