Catalogue Number 151441
Applications FACS IHC IF WB
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets Keratin 14
Reactivity Human, Mouse and Pig
Relevance 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.
