The original antibody was raised by immunizing a BALB/c mouse with keratin-enriched preparations from cultured A431 cells.
Application Notes
The original version of this antibody was used for immunocytochemistry on endometrial tissue from whole uteri of regularly cycling women (Ciocca et al., 1983; PMID: 6348061). This antibody was also used for immunohistochemistry on CIS from a DMBA-treated rat (Heffelfinger et al., 2003; PMID: 12861040), on histological sections of CIS from untreated and 6-week ZD6474 cohorts (Heffelfinger et al., 2004; PMID: 15170218), on mouse thymus (Song et al., 2008; PMID: 18824586), and on fresh samples from either tumors or normal tissues distant from tumors (Bártek et al., 1991; PMID: 1716305). This antibody was also used for immunofluorescence on Skin pieces of juvenile goldfish (Mauger et al., 2009; PMID: 19068235). This antibody was used in a western blot on mouse intestine lysates (Rhee et al., 2009; PMID: 19188353), on K562 and MDAMB231 cell lines (Kershaw et al., 2015; PMID: 25957999), and on filament-enriched preparations using this antibody (Bártek et al., 1991; PMID: 1716305).
