Extra Details:: Keratins are a family of intermediate filament proteins that assemble into filaments through forming heterodimers of one type I keratin (keratins 9 to 23) and one type II keratin (keratins 1-8). The two keratin types share only 30% sequence homology.1-5 Keratins demonstrate tissue- and differentiation- specific expression profiles. Cytokeratin 19 is the smallest human keratin, is found in many simple and some non-keratinizing stratified squamous epithelia, and is often co-expressed with keratin 7.6,7 Cytokeratin 19 has been implicated as a marker for stem cells in some tissues, such as hair follicles in the skin. Monoclonal antibodies to cytokeratin proteins can be useful markers for tumor identification and classification. The degree of cytokeratin 19 positivity in breast cancer distinguishes malignant from benign tumors. Cytokeratin 19 is also associated with malignant transformation in esophageal and pancreatic cancers.8,9 Applications: Suitable for use in FLISA, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry: 10ug/ml Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C if to be used immediately within two weeks. For long-term storage, aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable at -20°C for 12 months after receipt. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: FITC conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
