Cytokeratin Cocktail [AE1&AE3]

The antibody cocktail labels simple epithelia and their tumors including cytokeratins expressed in complex stratified squamous epithelia. Positive results aid in the classification of normal and a wide range of neoplastic tissues as epithelial in origin. This antibody serves as first tier antibody for differentiation of undifferentiated neoplasm. Pan Cytokeratin clone AE1/AE3 antibody may be used with a panel of antibodies for differential diagnosis, e.g. Breast vs. lung or liver: CK7, AE1/AE3, CEA, GCDFP-15, TTF-1; Renal vs. lung or liver: AE1/AE3, CEA, TTF-1, Renal Cell Ag; Seminoma vs. lung or liver: CAM5.2, AE1/AE3, PLAP, EMA, CD30; Embryonal germ cell vs. lung or liver: AE1/AE3, TTF-1, CK7, PLAP, CD30.
