Scientific Data Images for Human Cytokeratin 17 Antibody

Detection of Human Cytokeratin 17 by Western Blot.

Western Blot shows lysates of MDA-MB-468 human breast cancer cell line and A431 human epithelial carcinoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 2 µg/ml of Mouse Anti-Human Cytokeratin 17 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11571) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). A specific band was detected for Cytokeratin 17 at approximately 53 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Western Blot Buffer Group 1.

Detection of Cytokeratin 17 in Human Prostate.

Cytokeratin 17 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human prostate using Mouse Anti-Human Cytokeratin 17 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11571) at 5 µg/ml for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001) or the HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF007). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to the cytoplasm.

Detection of Cytokeratin 17 in Human Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Cytokeratin 17 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human squamous cell carcinoma using Mouse Anti-Human Cytokeratin 17 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB11571) at 5 µg/ml for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001) or the HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF007). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to the cytoplasm.

Background: Cytokeratin 17

Cytokeratin 17 (KRT17) is a 48 kDa, 432 aa type I keratin that has been studied in several types of cancer. KRT17 promotes epithelial cell proliferation and tumor growth in skin. Many studies have shown KRT17 overexpression in many cancers including cervical, oral, ovarian, gastric, lung and pancreatic cancer among others. In certain types of  breast cancer, KRT17 overexpression has been associated with poor prognosis. KRT17 expression is closely associated with prognosis in cancer and can be a novel therapeutic target.
