Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human
Cytokeratin 20
Clone Ks20.8
Reacts with the 46 kDa protein corresponding to cytokeratin 20.
The antibody labels the majority of adenocarcinomas of the colon, mucinous ovarian tumors, transitional-cell and Merkel-cell carcinomas, and frequently adenocarcinomas of the stomach, bile system and pancreas. Most squamous cell carcinomas and most adenocarcinomas from other sites (breast, endometrium, lung, prostate), non-mucinous tumors of the ovary, and small-cell lung carcinomas are essentially or completely negative.

Merkel cell carcinoma (FFPE) stained with FLEX Anti-Cytokeratin 20, Code IR777/IS777.
Merkel cell carcinoma. The majority of the neoplastic cells show a perinuclear cytoplasmic and dot-like staining reaction.
Clinical application for IR777/IS777. Primarily for identification of gastrointestinal tumors, mucinous ovarian tumors and Merkel cell carcinoma. Anti-Cytokeratin 20 stains the normal gastrointestinal epithelium and urothelium.
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
FLEX Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human Cytokeratin 20, Clone Ks20.8, Ready-to-Use, (Link), is intended for use in immunohistochemistry together with Autostainer Link instruments. This antibody labels normal and abnormal gastric and intestinal epithelium, urothelium and Merkel cells (1, 2), and this antibody is of particular value in the classification of carcinomas originating from these cell types (1, 3-5). 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.
