Basic Cytokeratin Antibody (HMW / Type II)

• Description:

  This antibody recognizes HMW Keratin 1, 5, 10 and 14. In normal epithelia, it stains stratified epithelia, myoepithelial cells and basal cells in the prostate gland and bronchi. The HMW Cytokeratin antibody shows no reactivity with hepatocytes, pancreatic acinar cells, proximal renal tubules, or endometrial glands; there is no reactivity with cells derived from simple epithelia. Mesenchymal tumors, lymphomas, melanomas, neural tumors, and neuroendocrine tumors are negative with this mAb. It stains myoepithelial cells and has been shown to be useful in distinguishing prostate adenocarcinoma from benign prostate. It has also been useful in separating benign from malignant intraductal breast proliferations.
