Cytokeratin 13 Antibody (AE8) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Cytokeratin 13 in mouse, rat, human, and rabbit samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. Cytokeratin 13 is a vital component of the intermediate filament family, forming a heterotetramer with two type I acidic and two type II basic keratins, and is typically associated with Cytokeratin 4. Cytokeratin 13 is predominantly located in the cytoskeletal region of epithelial cells, where Cytokeratin 13 plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular structure and integrity, particularly in non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelia. Cytokeratin 13 expression is significant in tissue differentiation and serves as a marker for identifying malignant tumors, especially in squamous cell carcinomas. Notably, defects in the KRT13 gene can lead to white sponge nevus of Cannon, a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by soft, white, spongy plaques in the oral mucosa, underscoring Cytokeratin 13′s importance in both normal physiology and disease states. Anti-Cytokeratin 13 antibody (AE8) is an essential tool for researchers studying epithelial cell biology and the pathogenesis of related disorders.

I am using Cytokeratin 13 (AE8): sc-57003 monoclonal antibody to stain paraffin embedded tissue. Do you recommend antigen retrieval when using this antibody?

Asked by: Cweed
We recommend performing antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6) and heat. The full protocol can be found here: https://www.scbt.com/scbt/resources/protocols/immunoperoxidase-staining
