human ... KRT3(3850)

Specificity

The antibody reacts with the 64 kDa polypeptide (cytokeratin 3; Keratin K3) of corneal epithelium and keratin K76 (cytokeratin K2p) of palate epithelium. As such this represents an excellent marker for studying corneal epithelial-type differentiation. Also recognizes bovine snout and lip epithelium, as well as a rabbit corneal cell line.

Immunogen

Rabbit corneal epithelial keratin

Application

Anti-Keratin K3/K76 Antibody, clone AE5 is an antibody against Keratin K3/K76 for use in WB, IH, IH(P).
Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections: 1:50.

Immunohistochemistry on Paraffin-embedded sections: 1:50 on paraffin-embedded tissue sections fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin or Fekete’s acid-alcohol-formalin following trypsin digestion antigen retrieval (Mikaelian et al., 2004).

Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provide unprecedented opportunities to study the earliest stages of human development in vitro and have the potential to provide unlimited new sources of cells for regenerative medicine. Although previous studies have reported cytokeratin 14+/p63+ keratinocyte

Limbal epithelial stem cells are required for the maintenance and repair of the corneal epithelial surface. The difficulty in obtaining human corneal tissue for research purposes means that animal models for studying the corneal and limbal epithelium are extremely useful.

The New Zealand White rabbit has been widely used as a model of limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). Current techniques for experimental induction of LSCD utilize caustic chemicals, or organic solvents applied in conjunction with a surgical limbectomy. While generally
