Mouse Monoclonal to Cytokeratin 20
Used to identify and differentiate different carcinomas. This antibody can be used on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Prolonged fixation in buffered formalin can destroy the epitope. For optimal results, tissue sections should either be treated with high-temperature based antigenic unmasking technique, or with proteolytic enzymes such as AutoZyme or Pronase. The optimal conditions should be determined by the individual laboratory. This antibody is not suitable for use on cryostat sections or cell smears due to non-specific cross-reaction with negative epithelia. Dilute according to the particular application being used. In general, the 0.05M Borate pH 8.0 containing 0.15M Sodium Chloride, 0.05% Sodium Azide, is a good diluent to use with most antibodies.
