Anti-CK8 Antibody

Pan-epithelial research tool from Antibodies.com: this mouse monoclonal antibody binds Cytokeratin 8 (KRT8), a ~53 kDa type II intermediate filament protein that pairs with CK18 to form the structural cytoskeleton of simple and glandular epithelia, including hepatocytes, intestinal enterocytes, and the lining of glandular ducts.

The unconjugated antibody is supplied as 100 µL of reagent and has been validated for western blot and immunohistochemistry on human, mouse, and rat samples, supporting cross-species studies of epithelial biology, hepatocellular function, circulating tumour cell detection, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition models.

For routine handling, refrigerate the vial and protect from light to preserve antibody activity across repeated uses. Researchers investigating carcinoma classification, liver injury, or epithelial barrier integrity routinely pair CK8 staining with complementary keratins to map tissue origin and differentiation state in formalin-fixed and frozen tissue sections.
