  • Name Jenny Southgate
  • Institute Cancer Research UK, London Research Institute: Lincoln's Inn Fields

Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-Keratin 7 & 8 [LDS65]
  • Clone: LDS65
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: IHC
  • 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. Keratins 7 and 8 are two closely related type II keratins characteristic of simple epithelia. Keratin 7 is less widespread than keratin 8 and is expressed in sebaceous and sweat glands and some cells of the inner hair root sheath. Keratin 7 is often co-expressed with keratin 19. LdS 65 is useful for studies of epithelial cells and tumour origin.
  • Immunogen: Cytoskeletons of the human urothelial RT4 cell line
  • Isotype: Not Known
  • Research area: Cell signaling and signal transduction

  • For Research Use Only
