Gene ID

3866

Swiss Prot

P19012

Reactivity

Human

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino acid region 350 - 456 of the human Cytokeratin 15 protein.

Applications

Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Dilution

It has been optimized for direct use, requiring no further dilution.

Specificity

The antibody can specifically recognize human CK15 protein. In immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections, the antibody specifically labels the squamous epithelial cells and carcinomas, and shows no reaction with glandular epithelial cells.
