Description: Cytokeratins, a group comprising 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. Monoclonal antibodies to cytokeratins are specific markers of epithelial cell differentiation and have been widely used as tools in tumor identification and classification. PCK-26 facilitates the typing of normal, metaplastic and neoplastic cells and it may aid in the discrimination of carcinomas and non-epithelial tumors such as sarcomas, lymphomas and neural tumors. It is also useful in detecting micro-metastases in lymph nodes and other tissues and for determining the origin of poorly differentiated tumors (1,2).

Pan-Cytokeratin antibody [PCK-26] is a mouse monoclonal antibody that detects multiple cytokeratins (i.e., Type II cytokeratins 1, 5, 6, and 8), a group of intermediate filament proteins present in most human epithelial tissues. This reagent is a broad spectrum antibody that reacts with a variety of normal, reactive, and neoplastic epithelial tissues, as well as simple, cornifying, and non-cornifying squamous epithelia and pseudostratified epithelia.
Store as concentrated solution. Centrifuge briefly prior to opening vial. For short-term storage (1-2 weeks), store at 4C. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20C or below. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
