Product Overview
Clone: K72.7
Cytokeratin 7 (Glandular and Transitional Epithelial Marker); Clone K72.7 (Concentrate) is a monoclonal antibody that specifically targets Cytokeratin 7, a type II intermediate filament protein predominantly expressed in the glandular and transitional epithelia. Clone K72.7 demonstrates strong and selective immunoreactivity in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples, making it highly effective for immunohistochemical applications. This antibody is widely utilized in diagnostic pathology to identify tumors of epithelial origin, particularly those arising from the lung, breast, ovary, and urinary tract, where CK7 expression is commonly retained. The concentrated format allows for flexible dilution and protocol optimization to suit varying laboratory requirements. Clone K72.7 is especially valuable in differentiating between CK7-positive and CK7-negative tumor profiles, aiding in the accurate classification and diagnosis of carcinomas and in distinguishing between primary and metastatic lesions.
