Purity:Purified by Protein A affinity chromatography.
Form:Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.2. Labeled with Allophycocyanin (APC).
Specificity:Reacts with the smallest human cytokeratin (Mr 40kD). No crossreactivity with other cytokeratins. Reacts strongly with luminal (secretory) epithelial cells but does not stain the basal (myoepithelial) cells. There is a subset ofsecretory epithelial cells which were Keratin 19 and are thought to be precursors to keratin 19+ cells.
