Description: Rabbit anti-cytokeratin, WSS labels a variety of keratins representing a wide range of molecular weight proteins.
Primary Antibody
|
Name: Cytokeratin, WSS, Antibody |
|
Clone: Rabbit polyclonal |
|
Supplier: Dako |
|
Catalog Number: Z0622 |
|
Dilution: 1:500 using IHC-TekTM Antibody Diluent (Cat# IW-1000 or IW-1001) to reduce background and unspecific staining and serum blocking step is NOT needed. |
|
Incubation Time/Temp: 60 minutes/room temperature |
Antigen Retrieval
| Device: IHC-TekTM Epitope Retrieval Steamer Set (Cat# IW-1102) |
| Buffer/pH value: IHC-TekTM Epitope Retrieval Solution (Cat# IW-1100) |
| Heat/Cool Temperature: 95-100 ºC/room temperature |
| Heat/Cool Time: 20 minutes/20 minutes |
Detection Methods
| Standard Method: ABC Method or LSAB Method |
| Enhanced Method: Polymeric Methods |
Chromogen Substrate
| Reagent: DAB |
| Incubation Time/Temperature: 1-3 minutes/room temperature |
Counterstain
| Reagent: Mayer's Hematoxylin |
| Staining Time: 30 seconds |
Results:
| Staining Pattern: Cytoplasmic |
| Images: Search image |
Additional Information:
| Tissue Type: Skin |
| Fixation: Formalin fixed paraffin sections. |
| Positive Control: Skin, lung, pancreas, liver, breast, duodenum, pituitary, kidney. |
| Negative Control: Omit primary antibody, isotype control or absorption control |
| Blocking: 2-5% normal serum to reduce unspecific background staining; 0.5-3% H2O2 to block endogenous peroxidase activity; avidin/biotin to block endogenous biotin activity if necessary |
Notes:
Not tested on frozen sections. |
