Specificity
The ab86734 is a combination of [AE1/AE3] and [5D3] clones and can be used to detect most human epithelia. [AE1/AE3] recognizes acidic and basic subfamilies of cytokeratins, with molecular weights ranging from 40 to 67 kDa. [5D3] recognizes Cytokeratin 8 and 18 intermediate filament proteins. In normal tissues, [5D3] recognizes all simple and glandular epithelium. It has been observed that [AE1/AE3] has had problems marking certain tissues types and adenocarcinomas. The addition of [5D3] may remedy some of the limitations observed when staining with [AE1/AE3] alone.

General notes
Please note that this antibody is an oligoclonal antibody. It is a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies that have been carefully selected. Oligoclonal antibodies have not only the specificity and batch-to-batch consistency of a monoclonal antibody, but also have the advantage of the sensitivity of a polyclonal antibody due to their ability to recognize multiple epitopes on an antigen.
This product was changed from ascites to tissue culture supernatant on 8th March 2018. Please note that the dilutions may need to be adjusted accordingly. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our scientific support team.

ab86734 stained HepG2 cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody ab86734 at 1/100 dilution overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was DyLight® 488 goat anti- mouse (ab96879) IgG (H+L) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM. This antibody also gave a positive result in methanol fixed (100%, 5min) HeLa, Hek293. HepG2, and MCF-7 cells, also in formaldehyde fixed (4%, 10min) HeLa, Hek293, and MCF-7 cells at 1/100 dilution.

Paraffin embedded, 0.1% Triton X-100 permeabilized mouse skin stained for pan Cytokeratin with ab86734 at a 1/100 dilution. Heat mediated - Buffer/Enzyme Used: Trypsin enzyme for 15 minutes at RT. 10% serum used to block for 1 hour at RT. Primary incubation for 16 hours at 4°C. Secondary: Goat polyclonal conjugated to biotin used at a 1/100 dilution.

ab86734 staining pan Cytokeratin in rat squamous epithelial tissue by Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections).
Tissue was fixed in formaldehyde and an enzymatic antigen retrieval step was performed using Proteinase K. Samples were then blocked using 1% BSA for 25 minutes at 25°C, followed by incubation with ab86734 at a 1/100 dilution for 16 hours at 25°C. The secondary used was an undiluted HRP goat polyclonal. -

The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab86734, 1/100 dilution) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.

ab86734 staining pan Cytokeratin in pig small intestine tissue sections by Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P - paraformaldehyde-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections). Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 1% BSA for 10 minutes at 21°C; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in citric acid. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/250 in TBS/BSA/azide) for 2 hours at 21°C. A Biotin-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal (1/200) was used as the secondary antibody.
