Cytokeratin 8 KRT8 Antibody (monoclonal, 3G9)

IF analysis of Cytokeratin 8 using anti-Cytokeratin 8 antibody. Cytokeratin 8 was detected in immunocytochemical section of U20S cell. Enzyme antigen retrieval was performed using IHC enzyme antigen retrieval reagent for 15 mins. The cells were blocked with 10% goat serum. And then incubated with 2 µg/ml mouse anti-Cytokeratin 8 Antibody overnight at 4°C. Biotin Conjugated Goat anti-Mouse IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The section was developed using Cy3 Conjugated Avidin. Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.

Flow Cytometry analysis of A549 cells using anti-Cytokeratin 8 antibody. Overlay histogram showing A549 cells (Blue line). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with permeabilization buffer. The cells were blocked with 10% normal goat serum. And then incubated with rabbit anti-Cytokeratin 8 Antibody (1 µg/1x10^6 cells) for 30 min at 20°C. DyLight®488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (5-10 µg/1x10^6 cells) was used as secondary antibody for 30 minutes at 20°C. Isotype control antibody (Green line) was rabbit IgG (1 µg/1x10^6) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (Red line) was also used as a control.

IF analysis of Cytokeratin 8 using anti-Cytokeratin 8 antibody. Cytokeratin 8 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human intestinal cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2 µg/mL mouse anti-Cytokeratin 8 Antibody overnight at 4°C. DyLight®488 Conjugated Goat Anti-Mouse IgG was used as secondary antibody at 1:100 dilution and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The section was counterstained with DAPI. Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.

Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2 µg/mL mouse anti-Cytokeratin 8 Antibody overnight at 4°C. DyLight®488 Conjugated Goat Anti-Mouse IgG was used as secondary antibody at 1:100 dilution and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The section was counterstained with DAPI. Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.

IHC analysis of Cytokeratin 8 using anti-Cytokeratin 8 antibody. Cytokeratin 8 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human rectal cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1 µg/ml mouse anti-Cytokeratin 8 Antibody overnight at 4°C. Peroxidase Conjugated Goat Anti-Mouse IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using HRP Conjugated Mouse IgG Super Vision Assay Kit with DAB as the chromogen.

Western blot analysis of Cytokeratin 8 using anti-Cytokeratin 8 antibody. Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 50 ug of sample under reducing conditions. Lane 1: human placenta tissue lysates; Lane 2: human Caco-2 whole cell lysates; Lane 3: human A549 whole cell lysates; Lane 4: human A431 whole cell lysates; Lane 5: human Hela whole cell lysates; Lane 6: human K562 whole cell lysates; Lane 7: human HEK293 whole cell lysates. After Electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a Nitrocellulose membrane at 150mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% Non-fat Milk/ TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with mouse anti-Cytokeratin 8 antigen affinity purified monoclonal antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1% Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Cytokeratin 8 at approximately 54KD. The expected band size for Cytokeratin 8 is at 54KD.
