Background
GT211212 is a broad spectrum antibody which reacts specifically with a wide variety of normal, reactive and neoplastic epithelial tissues. The antibody reacts with simple, cornifying and non-cornifying squamous epithelia and pseudostratified epithelia. It does not react with non-epithelial normal human tissues. This antibody can be applied to methanol- or acetone-fixed frozen sections, and to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tissues. Increased staining intensity is seen following proteolytic treatment of tested tissue (protease iunmaskingi). Similarly embedded methacarn-fixed material is also suitable for cytokeratin demonstration. Anti-Pan Cytokeratin exhibits a wide interspecies cross-reactivity down to xenopus laevis (e.g., human, bovine, rat, and frog). GT211212 may be used for the localization of cytokeratins using various immunochemical assays including direct immunofluorescence using frozen or fixed tissue sections or cultured cells. It may also be used in flow cytometry of normal and neoplastic epithelial cells. Intermediate-sized filaments are abundant cytoplasmic structural proteins in most vertebrate cells.
