Anti human Cytokeratin 18

Catalog Number:

ab52948

Clone Number:

Rabbit polyclonal

We studied the zonation of the liver. The KRT18 is expressed in the whole liver (hepatocytes) with an increase in the epithelial structure surrounding the bile ducts. The expression level of this protein allowed us to follow the development of this tissue in mouse models.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

Mouse liver

Primary Incubation

1:500 in blocking solution, 1 hour at RT

Blocking Agent

PBS + donkey normal serum 10%

Secondary Incubation

Fluorescence coupled secondary antibody, 1:500 for 1 hour at RT

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Fluorescence/confocal microscopy

Results Summary

Very strong and specific staining of the liver tissues. This antibody raised against human epitopes proved very efficient and specific also when staining paraffin embedded mouse tissues. The epitope supports well the buffer citrate (pH8 or pH6) antigen retrieval method
