Cytoskeletal fraction prepared from human gingiva by detergent/salt extraction was used as the immunogen for this Basic Cytokeratin antibody.
This antibody is specific to cytokeratin 13, 14, 15 and 16. This antibody stains squamous carcinomas and adeno-squamous carcinomas but does not stain adenocarcinoma. This antibody is useful in differential staining of squamous carcinomas from adenocarcinomas and to differentiate benign and malignant tumors of prostate glands.
