Tool Details
- Tool name: Anti-Keratin19 [BA17]
- Clone: BA17
- Tool type: Antibodies
- Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
- Class: Monoclonal
- Conjugate: Unconjugated
- Reactivity: Human
- Host: Mouse

- Description: Keratins are a family of intermediate filament proteins that assemble into filaments through forming heterodimers of one type I keratin (keratins 9 to 23) and one type II keratin (keratins 1 to 8). Keratins demonstrate tissue and differentiation specific expression profiles. Keratin 19 (a cytokeratin) is the smallest human keratin and is found in many simple and some non-keratinising stratified squamous epithelia. The degree of keratin 19 positivity in breast cancer distinguishes malignant from benign tumours. Keratin 19 is often co-expressed with keratin 7.
- Immunogen: Detergent-insoluble extract of human mammary epithelial organoids.
- Isotype: IgG1

- Myeloma used: P3X63Ag8.653
- For Research Use Only
