| General Description of Cytokeratin 8/18. | |
| Cytokeratin 8 (CK8) belongs to the type II (or B or basic) subfamily of high molecular weight cytokeratins, exists in combination with cytokeratin 18 (CK18). This MAb cocktail recognizes all simple epithelia including glandular epithelium, for example thyroid, female breast, gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract,, urogenital tract including transitional epithelium. All adenocarcinomas, most squamous carcinomas are positive but keratinizing squamous carcinomas are usually negative. This antibody is useful in demonstrating the presence of Paget cells; there is very little keratin 18 in the normal epidermis so only Paget cells are stained.Immuno-histochemical staining with this MAb is indistinguishable from that obtained with monoclonal antibody 5D3. | |

![Analysis of Mass Spec data (dashed-line) of fractions stained with Cytokeratin 8/18 MS-QAVA™ monoclonal antibody [Clone: C-51] (solid-line), reveals that less than 3.8% of signal is attributable to non-specific binding of anti-Cytokeratin 8/18 [Clone C-51] to targets other than KRT8 & KRT18 protein. Even frequently cited antibodies have much greater non-specific interactions, averaging over 30%.
