The CK20 (Cytokeratin-20) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody, Clone Ks20.8, is a highly specific antibody developed for the precise detection of Cytokeratin-20 (CK20), an intermediate filament protein predominantly expressed in gastrointestinal epithelium, urothelium, and associated carcinomas. This antibody is widely utilized in immunohistochemistry (IHC) for identifying and differentiating colorectal, urothelial, and Merkel cell carcinomas, among other epithelial tumors. Clone Ks20.8 targets a well-defined epitope on CK20, delivering strong cytoplasmic staining with excellent specificity and minimal background. Its robust and reproducible performance makes it an essential tool for pathologists and researchers engaged in tumor classification, cancer diagnostics, and prognostic evaluations. Validated for use on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human tissue sections, this mouse monoclonal antibody is compatible with both manual and automated IHC platforms. It is available in concentrated and ready-to-use formats, providing flexibility to accommodate various laboratory workflows and throughput requirements. This antibody is instrumental in enhancing diagnostic accuracy by reliably distinguishing CK20-positive tumors, aiding in differential diagnosis of carcinomas with overlapping morphological features. With rigorous quality control and lot-to-lot consistency, the CK20 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody Clone Ks20.8 offers dependable results for clinical and research applications. Key Features: Clone: Ks20.8 Host: Mouse Monoclonal Target Protein: Cytokeratin-20 (CK20) Applications: Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on FFPE tissues Localization: Cytoplasmic Species Reactivity: Human Use Cases: Colorectal carcinoma, urothelial carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma, tumor typing Formulations: Concentrated and ready-to-use Compatibility: Suitable for manual and automated staining platforms Quality Assurance: Validated for specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility Ideal for clinical pathology labs and cancer research facilities, the CK20 (Ks20.8) antibody helps improve tumor diagnosis and supports advanced oncological studies by providing clear and consistent immunohistochemical staining.
