Product Overview
Clone: KRT18/836
Cytokeratin 18 (KRT18); Clone KRT18/836 (Concentrate) is a monoclonal antibody specifically designed to detect Cytokeratin 18, a type I intermediate filament protein widely expressed in simple epithelial cells and various epithelial-derived tumors. Clone KRT18/836 demonstrates strong and specific immunoreactivity in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections, making it an essential tool for immunohistochemical applications. This antibody is commonly used in diagnostic pathology to identify and classify carcinomas, particularly those arising from glandular and ductal epithelia such as liver, pancreas, and breast tissues. The concentrated format allows for flexible dilution and optimization to fit diverse laboratory protocols. Clone KRT18/836 is highly valuable for differentiating epithelial tumors from non-epithelial malignancies, aiding in tumor characterization and supporting accurate clinical diagnosis.
