General description

Monoclonal anti-Cytokeratin Peptide 18 (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse.

Specificity

The antibody reacts with a wide variety of simple epithelia (gastrointestinal, respiratory, urinary, liver, and glandular) but does not react with most stratified squamous epithelium (esophagus, epidermis) or non-epithelial cells.

Immunogen

keratin from the bovine mammary gland epithelial cell line BMGE.

Application

Monoclonal Anti-Cytokeratin Peptide 18 antibody produced in mouse has been used in:
  • immunofluorescence
  • immunoperoxidase staining
  • immunocytochemistry
  • microarray

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cytokeratins are proteins of keratin-containing intermediate filaments that provide mechanical support and other additional functions in epithelial cells. It is found in the intracytoplasmic cytoskeleton of epithelial tissue. Epithelial tissue expresses cytokeratin subunits in a specific and stable pattern. Cytokeratins along with vimentin are involved in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation of preodontoblasts and preameloblasts. The intermediate-sized filaments are abundant in human endothelial cells and are mostly of vimentin type.

Cytokeratins (CKs) are related to proliferation and differentiation of epithelial cells. Little knowledge exists about CK patterns in human trophoblast subpopulations (villous and extravillous trophoblasts). To better understand differentiation and function of trophoblast components, we studied the distribution patterns of

Immunofluorescence studies revealed that adenovirus induces a reorganization of the cytokeratin system in lytically infected HeLa cells. At 24 h postinfection, the cytokeratin network began to disassemble into prominent spheroid globules. By 36 h postinfection, host cell lysis occurred, accompanied
