Cytokeratin 8, also known as type II cytoskeletal 8, is a protein that is often paired with Cytokeratin 18. They are perhaps the most commonly found products of the intermediate filament gene family, and are expressed in single-layer epithelial tissues of the body. Cytokeratin 8 is an intermediate filament protein produced early in embryogenesis. Anti-Cytokeratin 8 can be used to detect Adenocarcinomas with simple epithelium origin. It can be used to distinguish between Duct (peripheral staining) from Lobular (perinuclear staining) Breast Carcinoma.
Available options include prediluted (3ml, 7 ml, 15ml), concentrate (0.1 ml, 0.5ml, 1ml) and 5+ control slides.
