Anti-Keratin 15 Antibody

Raised in rabbit as a polyclonal reagent against the type I cytokeratin family member encoded by KRT15, this unconjugated primary antibody from Antibodies.com targets a marker of hair follicle bulge stem cells and basal epithelial cells. The 100 µl format is supplied for use in Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) workflows, and the antibody has been validated to react with Human, Mouse, and Rat samples. Researchers apply it to investigate epithelial stem cell populations, skin and mucosal tissue differentiation, wound healing, and tumor biology in basal-type squamous and esophageal carcinomas, where Keratin 15 expression is used to identify progenitor-rich regions. As an unconjugated reagent, it pairs with secondary detection systems in both chromogenic and fluorescent IHC setups.
