Cytokeratins are intermediary filaments that are expressed during epithelial development. Cytokeratin-4 is largely found in non-epidermal, stratified epithelial tissues such as larynx, pharynx, vagina, exocervix and epiglottis among several others . Cytokeratin-4 has been implicated in Streptococcus agalactiae infection and genetic mutations in Cytokeratin-4 have been linked to white sponge naevus . Monoclonal Anti-Cytokeratin Peptide 4 antibody is specific for cytokeratin 4 in goats, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, sheep, humans, rabbits, and dogs. The antibody weakly stains ciliated pseudostratified epithelium of bronchi. Ducts of skin sweat glands and prostate are focally stained by the antibody. Some endocervical columnar cells may also react with the antibody. This antibody is reactive with methanol or acetone fixed frozen sections, and with protease-digested formalin fixed paraffin embedded human tissues. Embedded methacarn fixed material can also be used for cytokeratin 4 demonstration.
특이성
The antibody reacts with non-cornifying squamous epithelium (e.g., exocervix, esophagus and cornea). Ciliated pseudostratified epithelium of bronchi is weakly stained. Ducts of sweat glands and prostate are focally stained. The antibody may react with some endocervical columnar cells.

애플리케이션
Monoclonal Anti-Cytokeratin Peptide 4 antibody is suitable for use in a broad range of immunoassays such as immunohistochemistry (frozen or formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections), immunoblot, dot blot, and indirect immunofluorescence (1:300 using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of human or animal tissue). The antibody may also be used for western blot and microarray.

Streptococcus agalactiae (group B streptococcus [GBS]) is a Gram-positive bacterium found in the female rectovaginal tract and is capable of producing severe disease in susceptible hosts, including newborns and pregnant women. The vaginal tract is considered a major reservoir for
Ocular surface disease is one major type of eye diseases. Different etiologies trigger distinct pathological responses of the ocular surface. We previously reported that genetically engineered mice with ablation of Prickle 1 manifested precocious eyelid opening with ensuing cornea dysplasia.

White sponge naevus (WSN) is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder that predominantly affects noncornified stratified squamous epithelia, most commonly the buccal mucosa. Clinically, WSN manifests as thickened spongy mucosa with a white opalescent tint in the mouth and may be

A number of human cytokeratins are expressed during the development of stratified epithelia from one-layered polar epithelia and continue to be expressed in several adult epithelial tissues. For studies of the regulation of the synthesis of stratification-related cytokeratins in internal
