Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody binds modified forms of human cytokeratin 8 and cytokeratin 18. It is reported that this antibody recognizes an intracellularly located cytokeratin protein that is strongly expressed in adenocarcinomas. |
Alternative Name | KRT8; CYK8; Keratin type II cytoskeletal 8; Cytokeratin-8; Type-II keratin Kb8; KRT18; CYK18; Keratin type I cytoskeletal 18; Cytokeratin-18; Cell proliferation-inducing gene 46 protein; COU1; B9165; ECACC 87040201 |
UniProt | P05787; P05783 |
Immunogen | The original antibody was generated by fusing the human lymphoblastoid cell line WI-L2-729- HF2 with lymphocytes obtained from mesenteric lymph nodes from a colon cancer patient. |
Application Notes | This antibody reacted with a panel of colon cancer cell lines and melanoma cell lines in a immunocytochemical assay. This antibody strongly reacted with antigens expressed on autologous and allogeneic colorectal cancers in an immunohistochemical analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues (PMID: 3699931). Electron microscopy of colonic adenocarcinoma cells, intact tumor and colonic epithelium by the immunogold technique demonstrated that the C-OU1 antibody reacted with a molecule associated with areas of disruption of the intermediate filaments in the cytoplasm of the tumor cells (PMID: 1607210). This binding of this antibody to different recombinant heterotypic K8/K18 complexes was determined by ELISA. This antibody cannot bind K8(1-65)/intact K18 and intact K8(1-85)/intact K18 complexes in an ELISA (US20050048070). |
