Flow Cytometry analysis of A431 cells using anti-Cytokeratin 18 antibody. Overlay histogram showing A431 cells (Blue line). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with permeabilization buffer. The cells were blocked with 10% normal goat serum. And then incubated with mouse anti-Cytokeratin 18 Antibody (1 µg/1x10^6 cells) for 30 min at 20°C. DyLight®488 conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (5-10 µg/1x10^6 cells) was used as secondary antibody for 30 minutes at 20°C. Isotype control antibody (Green line) was mouse IgG (1 µg/1x10^6) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Red line) was used as a blank control.

IF analysis of Cytokeratin 18 using anti-Cytokeratin 18 antibody. Cytokeratin 18 was detected in immunocytochemical section of Hela cells. Enzyme antigen retrieval was performed using IHC enzyme antigen retrieval reagent for 15 mins. The cells were blocked with 10% goat serum. And then incubated with 2 µg/mL mouse anti-Cytokeratin 18 Antibody overnight at 4°C. DyLight®488 Conjugated Goat Anti-mouse IgG was used as secondary antibody at 1:100 dilution and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The section was counterstained with DAPI. Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.

IF analysis of Cytokeratin 18 using anti-Cytokeratin 18 antibody. Cytokeratin 18 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human placenta tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1 µg/mL mouse anti-Cytokeratin 18 Antibody overnight at 4°C. DyLight®488 Conjugated Goat Anti-Mouse IgG was used as secondary antibody at 1:100 dilution and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The section was counterstained with DAPI. Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.

IHC analysis of Cytokeratin 18 using anti-Cytokeratin 18 antibody. Cytokeratin 18 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human lung cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1 µg/ml mouse anti-Cytokeratin 18 Antibody overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-mouse IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC) with DAB as the chromogen.

IHC analysis of Cytokeratin 18 using anti-Cytokeratin 18 antibody. Cytokeratin 18 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human rectal cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1 µg/ml mouse anti-Cytokeratin 18 Antibody overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-mouse IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC) with DAB as the chromogen.

Western blot analysis of Cytokeratin 18 using anti-Cytokeratin 18 antibody. Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50 ug of sample under reducing conditions. Lane 1: human placenta tissue lysates, Lane 2: human Caco-2 whole cell lysates, Lane 3: human A549 whole cell lysates. After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hours at RT. The membrane was incubated with mouse anti-Cytokeratin 18 antigen affinity purified monoclonal antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1% Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Cytokeratin 18 at approximately 48 KD. The expected band size for Cytokeratin 18 is at 48 KD.
