Cytokeratin 5 [EP24]
Description Keratins are cytoplasmic intermediate filament proteins expressed by epithelial cells. The mitotically active basal layers of most stratified squamous epithelia express 10% to 30% of their total protein as keratin. The two keratins specifically expressed in these cells are the type II keratin CK5 and its corresponding partner, type I keratin CK14, both of which are essential for the formation of 8-nm filaments. CK5 and calretinin have been useful in different studies as immunohistochemical markers suggestive of mesothelioma, and their expression is analyzed for the histological differential diagnosis with adenocarcinomas, especially when confronting with metastatic tumors of unknown origin. CK5 labels myoepithelial cells of breast and prostate basal cells. A cocktail of CK5, CK14 and p63, has been used as sensitive and specific basal cell marker of basal-like phenotype of breast carcinoma and to differentiate normal and prostate cancer.

Cytokeratin 5/6 [D5/16B4]
Description Twenty human keratins are divided into acidic (pI <5.7) and basic (pI >6.0) subfamilies. Members of the acidic and basic subfamilies are found together in pairs. The composition of keratin pairs varies with theepithelial cell type, stage of differentiation, cellular growth environment, and disease state. Many studies have shown the usefulness of keratins as markers in cancer research and tumor identification.

Cytokeratin 5/6 [KRT5-6/2437]
Description It recognizes polypeptides of 58kDa and 56kDa, identified as cytokeratin 5 and 6 respectively. It shows no reaction with keratin 1, 8, or 19. Twenty identified cytokeratins make up a complex family of intermediate filaments. Cytokeratin 5 & cytokeratin 6 are type II high molecular weight keratins that are expressed in a broad range of normal tissues including breast, prostate, mesothelium, skin and esophagus. Anti-Cytokeratin 5 & 6 is a useful immunohistochemical marker in the identification of mesothelioma and lung squamous cell carcinoma.

Cytokeratin 5/8 [C-50]
Description It reacts with keratin 5 (58kDa) and keratin 8 (52.5kDa). Simple epithelia express cytokeratin 8 in combination with 18. On the other hand, basal cells of stratified epithelia express cytokeratin 5 paired with 14. This antibody therefore, reacts with a wide range of epithelia and their carcinomas.

Cytokeratin 6 [LHK6]
Description The human type II Cytokeratin 6 (CK6; 56 kDa) is well known for its strong induction in stratified epithelia that feature an enhanced cell proliferation rate or abnormal differentiation during wound healing, in several diseases (e.g. psoriasis, actinic keratosis) and in cancer. CK6 is expressed on stratified epithelia including oral mucosa, esophagus, basal layer of epidermis, the outer root sheath of hair follicles, and in glandular epithelia. CK6 is a marker of hyperproliferative and activated keratinocytes found in psoriasis. CK6 paired with CK5 is useful to differentiate mesothelioma (positive) from lung carcinoma (negative) or metastatic carcinoma (negative) in the pleura. CK5/6 has also been used to distinguish usual ductal hyperplasia of the breast (strong staining) from solid papillary DCIS (negative).

Cytokeratin 7 [OV-TL12/30]
Description Cytokeratin 7 (CK7) is a cytoplasmic intermediate filament protein expressed on most ductal and glandular epithelium including lung, breast, bladder and female genital tract, but not in most gastrointerstinal epithelium, prostate, hepatocyte and squamous epithelium. CK7 expression is absent in colon cancer, prostate cancer and squamous carcinomas. The restricted expression of CK7 in some epithelium makes it useful to identify the organ origin of adenocarcinomas when combined with staining of Cytokeratin 20 and other cell specific markers.
