Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human
Cytokeratin
Clone AE1/AE3
Reacts with the 65-67, 64, 59, 58, 56.5, 56, 54, 52, 50, 48 and 40 kDa cytokeratins.
The antibody labels keratinized and corneal epidermis, stratified squamous epithelia of internal organs, stratified epithelia, hyperproliferative keratinocytes, and simple epithelia. The antibody is useful for the identification of tumors as carcinoma or epithelial origin and for differential identification of undifferentiated carcinomas.
Merkel cell tumor (FFPE) stained with FLEX Anti-Cytokeratin, Code IR053/IS053.
Merkel cell tumor. Some neoplastic cells show a focal and dot-like cytoplasmic staining reaction for cytokeratin.
Clinical application for IR053/IS053. For identification of tumors of epithelial origin such as squamous cell carcinoma, seminoma and Merkel cell tumor.
Disclaimer: Due to variances among color computer monitors, the colors you see on your screen may not be the exact colors of the stain. The image you see should be considered close renditions to the actual stain.
- Optimized staining performance of both high- and low-expression structures
- Crisp and clear staining with no background
- Optimal laboratory efficiency with ready-to-use antibodies on Dako Autostainer Link 48
Intended Use
For in vitro diagnostic use.
FLEX Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human Cytokeratin, Clone AE1/AE3, Ready-to-Use, (Link), is intended for use in immunohistochemistry with Autostainer Link instruments. This antibody is useful for the identification of tumors as carcinoma or epithelial origin (1-3). The clinical interpretation of any staining or its absence should be complemented by morphological studies using proper controls and should be evaluated within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.

Immunogen
Human epidermal callus (1).
Specificity
AE1/AE3 is a cocktail of two monoclonal antibodies that were obtained by immunizing mice with human callus keratins (2). AE1/AE3 has been shown to identify the majority of human cytokeratins and thus may be used as a tool for the positive IHC identification of cells of simple and stratified epithelial origin (1,2,4). Antibody AE1 immunoreacts with an antigenic determinant present on most of the subfamily A cytokeratins, including cytokeratins with Moll's designation (4) 10, 13, 14, 15 16 and 19 (MWs of 56.5, 54', 50, 50', 48 and 40 kDa, respectively) but not on Nos. 12, 17 and 18 (55, 47 and 45 kDa) (4). Antibody AE3 reacts with an antigenic determinant shared by the subfamily B cytokeratins including Nos. 1 and 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 (MWs of 65, 67, 64, 59, 58, 56, 54 and 52 kDa, respectively) (5).
Reagent Provided
