- Extra Details:
- This MAb recognizes a protein of 58kDa; which is identified as Cytokeratin 5 (KRT5). This type II cytokeratin is specifically expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis with family member KRT14. Antibodies to KRT5 identify basal cells of squamous and glandular epithelia; myoepithelia; and mesothelium.Anti-cytokeratin 5 has been reported useful in the differential diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma in the pleura versus epithelioid mesothelioma. Almost all squamous cell carcinomas; half of transitional carcinomas; and many undifferentiated large cell carcinomas express.Anti-KRT5; along with anti-p63; affords a high sensitivity and specificity for squamous differentiation. Myoepithelial cells of the breast; glandular epithelia; and basal cells of the prostate are labeled with anti-KRT5.
