Cytokeratin 7 Previously Observed Antibody Staining Patterns
Observed Subcellular, Organelle Specific Staining Data:
Variations in Cytokeratin 7 antibody staining intensity in immunohistochemistry on tissue sections are present across different anatomical locations. An intense signal was observed in glandular cells in the breast, cervix, uterine, endometrium, fallopian tube, gallbladder, salivary gland, seminal vesicle and thyroid gland, respiratory epithelial cells in the bronchus and nasopharynx, trophoblastic cells in the placenta and urothelial cells in the urinary bladder. More moderate antibody staining intensity was present in glandular cells in the breast, cervix, uterine, endometrium, fallopian tube, gallbladder, salivary gland, seminal vesicle and thyroid gland, respiratory epithelial cells in the bronchus and nasopharynx, trophoblastic cells in the placenta and urothelial cells in the urinary bladder. Low, but measureable presence of Cytokeratin 7 could be seen inglandular cells in the parathyroid gland and stomach and myoepithelial cells in the breast. We were unable to detect Cytokeratin 7 in other tissues. Disease states, inflammation, and other physiological changes can have a substantial impact on antibody staining patterns. These measurements were all taken in tissues deemed normal or from patients without known disease.
Observed Antibody Staining Data By Tissue Type:
Tissues from cancer patients, for instance, have their own distinct pattern of Cytokeratin 7 expression as measured by anti-Cytokeratin 7 antibody immunohistochemical staining. The average level of expression by tumor is summarized in the table below. The variability row represents patient to patient variability in IHC staining.

| General Description of Cytokeratin 7. | |
| This MAb recognizes an intermediate filament protein (IFP) of 55kDa, which is identified as cytokeratin 7. This MAb is highly specific to cytokeratin 7 and shows no cross-reaction with other IFPs. Cytokeratin 7 is a basic cytokeratin, which is found in most glandular and transitional epithelia but not in the stratified squamous epithelia. Keratin 7 is expressed in the epithelial cells of ovary, lung, and breast but not of colon, prostate, or gastrointestinal tract. This MAb is highly useful in distinguishing ovarian carcinomas (keratin 7+) from colon carcinomas (keratin 7-). | |
