Anti-Cytokeratin, HMW(AE-3), CF647 conjugate, 0.1mg/mL

This MAb recognizes basic (Type II or HMW) cytokeratins, which include 67 kDa (CK1), 64 kDa (CK3), 59 kDa (CK4), 58 kDa (CK5), 56 kDa (CK6), 52 kDa (CK8). Twenty human keratins are resolved with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis into acidic (pI 6.0) subfamilies. The acidic keratins have molecular weights (MW) of 56.5, 55, 51, 50, 50 , 48, 46, 45, and 40 kDa. MAb AE3 recognizes the 65-67, 64, 59, 58, 56, and 52 kDa keratins of basic subfamily. Many studies have shown the usefulness of keratins as markers in cancer research and tumor diagnosis. AE1/AE3 is a broad spectrum anti pan-keratin antibody cocktail, which differentiates epithelial tumors from non-epithelial tumors e.g. squamous vs. adenocarcinoma of the lung, liver carcinoma, breast cancer, and esophageal cancer.Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF(R) Dyes and other labels. CF(R) Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF(R)405S and CF(R)405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors. Concentration: 0.1 mg/mL Storage buffer: PBS, 0.1% BSA, 0.05% azide
