CYTOKERATIN   ANTIBODIES  

(anti-Human and others as indicated)

RDI Division of Fitzgerald Industries Intl  offers a wide line of  antibodies. Since no one antibody works best for all applications (neutralization, blotting, ELISA, etc), we offer many different types of antibodies to help solve this problem. Please inquire for other applications or types of antibodies not listed below.


ANTI-CYTOKERATIN  TYPE 13  (clones Ks 13.1, 2D7 & 1C7)


MOUSE MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY TO: HUMAN CYTOKERATIN 13

 PRODUCT CODE   RDI-PRO61007, new cat#: 10R-C158a    $412.50/vial

CLONE        Ks 13.1

ISOTYPE     IgG1

IMMUNIZING ANTIGEN   Cytokeratin 13 purified from human oesophagus

SOURCE    Mouse ascitic fluid

PURIFICATION METHOD    Protein A affinity chromatography

SPECIFICITY   This antibody reacts with human cytokeratin 13 with minor affinity for cytokeratins 14 and 17. Cytokeratin 13 (54 kDa) is expressed by several stratified squamous epithelia such as vagina, tongue, oral mucosa, oesophagus, epidermis and urothelium of bladder. Squamous cell carcinomas such as cervical carcinomas, cloacogenic carcinomas and transitional cell carcinoma of bladder also express cytokeratin 13.

APPLICATIONS

*Identification of cytokeratin 13 expressing tissues by indirect immunofluorescence staining or by indirect immunoperoxidase staining of frozen sections

*Identification of cytokeratin 13 expressing tissues in formalin fixed wax embedded tissue sections by immunohistochemistry

* excellent for identifying various forms of squamous metaplasia and cell type heterogeneity

*Western blotting

KNOWN SPECIES  CROSS REACTIVITY      Recognizes bovine and rat

Mab to Cytokeratin 13 (clone 1C7)

Cat#RDI-PRO10523   $375.00 $344.00/3+

Clone                           1C7

Category                       Mouse monoclonal

Form/Purification         culture supernatant

Ig Class                         IgG2a

Antigen                          Cytokeratin preparation from human esophagus

Description/Specificity  Mab 1C7 specifically recognizes cytokeratin 13 (54 kD polypeptide) present in non-cornifying squamous epithelia and in transitional epithelium of the bladder. Epidermal cell culture studies have shown that cytokeratin 13 expression is involved in either the number or the strength of desmosomal contacts between suprabasal cells of stratified squamous epithelia.
