Flow Cytometry: Cytokeratin 8 Antibody (AE3) [NB120-9287] - An intracellular stain was performed on A431 cells with Cytokeratin 8 Antibody [AE3] NB120-9287AF488 (blue) and a matched isotype control (orange). Cells were ...read more
Recognizes most of the basic (Type II) keratins, HMW cytokeratins. It is broadly reactive and stains positively almost all epithelia and their neoplasms. AE3 reacts with all layers of epidermis (basal layer and above). The antibody is an excellent marker for distinguishing carcinomas from non-epithelial tumours. It has been used for studying the immunolocalisation of epidermal keratins, tissue distribution of keratins, various diseases of epidermis, oral mucosa and other epithelia and other epithelia development.

This antibody is suitable for staining formalin fixed paraffin wax embedded sections following enzyme digestion at a recommended dilution of at least 1:100. This antibody reacts with MCF-7, RT 112 & A 431 cultured cell lines. Use in FLOW reported in scientific literature (PMID 28497488 and 25468832).
Please note that this antibody is reactive to Mouse and derived from the same host, Mouse. Mouse-On-Mouse blocking reagent may be needed for IHC and ICC experiments to reduce high background signal. You can find these reagents under catalog numbers PK-2200-NB and MP-2400-NB. Please contact Technical Support if you have any questions.

Background
Cytokeratins are a subfamily of intermediate filaments and 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.

Cytokeratin 18 - A Intermediate Filament Cyotskeletal Component Keratins, also called cytokeratins, are a family of filamentous structural proteins that form the intermediate filaments within epithelial cells. Keratins are differentially expressed depending on both the epithelial cell origin and degree of differen... Read full blog post.
