Monoclonal antibody directed keratin 14, with use in identifying squamous cell carcinoma, and distinguishing basal breast carcinomas. Background and Research Application Keratin 14, a type 1 intermediate filament protein, is one of the two keratins alongside keratin 5 which distinguish stratifying epithelial cell types from simple epithelial cell types. LL002 antibody therefore characterises stratifying/keratinocyte cell types. This is useful for the identification of squamous cell carcinomas, and as a prognostic marker in breast carcinoma. LL002 labels the basal layer of stratifying squamous and non-squamous epithelia, with a cytoplasmic staining pattern. This can help distinguish between basal and non-basal subtypes of breast carcinomas. |
Host | Mouse |
Immunogen | The last 16 carboxy-terminal amino acids of human keratin, in the form of a synthetic peptide. This was coupled to thyroglobulin by the extra Cys added at the N terminus. |
Immunogen UniProt ID | P02533 |
Subclass | IgG3 |
Molecular Weight (kDa) | 50 |
Myeloma Used | Sp2/0-Ag14 |
Recommended Growing Conditions | DMEM + 5% FCS |
Strain | Balb/c |
Notes |
Production Details Purified using multi-step affinity chromatography with protein A. Storage Conditions Store at -20 degrees frozen. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Points of Interest Anti-keratin14 did not stain the transitional epithelium including the prostatic part of the urethra. This antibody has also proved a good marker for differentiation of intraductal from invasive salivary duct carcinoma by the positive staining of basal cells surrounding the in-situ neoplasm alongside differentiation of benign prostate from prostate carcinoma. Concentration 1mg/ml as standard |
