Cytokeratin 17 is normally expressed in the basal cells of complex epithelia but not in stratified or simple epithelia. Antibody to CK17 is an excellent tool to distinguish myoepithelial cells from luminal epithelium of various glands such as mammary, sweat and salivary. It is expressed in epithelial cells of various origins, such as bronchial epithelial cells and skin appendages. It may be considered as epithelial stem cell marker because CK17 Ab marks basal cell differentiation. CK17 is expressed in SCLC much higher than in LADC. Eighty-five percent of the triple negative breast carcinomas immunoreact with basal cytokeratins including anti-CK17. Also important is that cases of triple negative breast carcinoma with expression of CK17 show an aggressive clinical course.
Optimal dilution of the recombinant Keratin 17 antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant fragment of human KRT17 protein was used as the immunogen for the recombinant Keratin 17 antibody.
Aliquot the recombinant Keratin 17 antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
