Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunofluorescence (1 paper)

Monoclonal Anti-Cytokeratin Peptide 13 antibody produced in mouse is suitable for the following applications:

• Immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections)
• Indirect immunofluorescence at a working dilution of 1:100 using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tissue sections.
• Microarray

The antibody reacts with squamous, non-keratinized epithelium, transitional epithelium, pseudostratified epithelium, and myoepithelium.

Cytokeratins are proteins of keratin-containing intermediate filaments that provide mechanical support and other additional functions in epithelial cells. It is found in the intracytoplasmic cytoskeleton of epithelial tissue. Epithelial tissue expresses cytokeratin subunits in a specific and stable pattern. Cytokeratins along with vimentin are involved in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation of preodontoblasts and preameloblasts. The intermediate-sized filaments are abundant in human endothelial cells and are mostly of vimentin type.
