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.

Isotype IgG2a, kappa

Colon adenocarcinoma (FFPE) stained with FLEX Anti-Cytokeratin 20, Code IR777/IS777.

Colon adenocarcinoma. The majority of the neoplastic cells show a strong cytoplasmic 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.

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.

Colon. The luminal cells show a moderate to strong staining reaction, whereas the epithelial cells of the basal crypts show a weak to moderate staining reaction. Endocrine cells of the basal crypt show a moderate to strong staining reaction.

Recommended control for IR777/IS777. Appendix/Colon.

Colon stained with Anti-Cytokeratin 20.

Recommended control for IR777/IS777. Appendix/Colon.
