Anti-Cytokeratin pan-FITC antibody, Mouse monoclonal

NA.41

FITC Monoclonal Anti-Pan Cytokeratin is a purified mouse monoclonal antibody conjugated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) isomer I. Monoclonal anti-pan cytokeratin (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the PCK-26 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes of immunized BALB/c mice. Cytokeratins, a group comprised of at least 29 different proteins are characteristic of epithelial and trichocytic cells. Cytokeratin 5, 6 and 8 are members of the type II, neutral-to-basic subfamily. Cytokeratin peptide 5 is the primary type II keratin in stratified epithelia while cytokeratin type 8 is a major type II keratin in simple epithelia. Cytokeratin 6 is a "hyperproliferation" cytokeratin expressed in tissues with natural or pathological high turnover.
Cytokeratins are proteins of keratin-containing intermediate filaments that provide mechanical support and other additional functions in epithelial cells. It is found in the intracytoplasmic cytoskeleton of epithelial tissue. Epithelial tissue expresses cytokeratin subunits in a specific and stable pattern. Cytokeratins along with vimentin are involved in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation of preodontoblasts and preameloblasts. The intermediate-sized filaments are abundant in human endothelial cells and are mostly of vimentin type.

The antibody recognizes an epitope located on the Type II cytokeratins 1, 5, 6, and 8. PCK-26 is a broad spectrum antibody which reacts specifically with a variety of normal, reactive, and neoplastic epithelial tissues. The antibody reacts with simple, cornifying, and non-cornifying squamous epithelia and pseudostratified epithelia.
