Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	K8.8
Applications	FC, IF, IHC, IP, WB
Recommend Dilution	ELISA: Use Antibody without BSA for Coating. Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 μg/106 cells. Immunofluorescence: 1-2 μg/ml. Western Blot: 0.5-1 μg/ml. Immunoprecipitation: 1-2 μg/500 μg protein lysate. Immunohistochemistry on Frozen and Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Sections: 0.5-1 μg/ml for 30 minutes at RT. 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. Positive Control: MCF-7 or A431 cells. Skin, Colon, lung or breast carcinoma.
Reactivity	Human
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Keratin preparation from a Human carcinoma.
Specificity	Epitope of this Monoclonal Antibody is located between aa 343-357. Cytokeratin 8 (CK8) belongs to the type II (or B or basic) subfamily of high molecular weight cytokeratins and exists in combination with cytokeratin 18 (CK18). CK8 is primarily found in the non-squamous epithelia and is present in majority of adenocarcinomas and ductal carcinomas. It is absent in squamous cell carcinomas. Hepatocellular carcinomas are defined by the use of antibodies that recognize only cytokeratin 8 and 18. CK8 exists on several types of normal and neoplastic epithelia, including many ductal and glandular epithelia such as colon, stomach, small intestine, trachea, and esophagus as well as in transitional epithelium. Anti-CK8 does not react with skeletal muscle or nerve cells. Epithelioid sarcoma, chordoma, and adamantinoma show strong positivity corresponding to that of simple epithelia (with antibodies against CK8, CK18 and CK19). Reportedly, anti-CK8 is useful for the differentiation of lobular (“ring-like, perinuclear”) from ductal (“peripheral-predominant”) carcinoma of the breast. Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic.
