Basic Cytokeratin Antibody (HMW / Type II)
Twenty human keratins are resolved with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis into acidic (pI <5.7) and basic (pI >6.0) subfamilies. This antibody recognizes basic (Type II or HMW) cytokeratins, which include 67kDa (CK1); 64kDa (CK3); 59kDa (CK4); 58kDa (CK5); 56kDa (CK6); 52kDa (CK8). Many studies have shown the usefulness of keratin markers in cancer research and tumor diagnosis. The basic family clone AE3 is commonly used in combination with clone AE1 as a pan cytokeratin antibody acidic + basic cocktail (<a href=../pan-cytokeratin-antibody-cocktail-ae1-ae3-v2330>Cat No V2330</a>).
