Whole cell lysates (15 µg protein) from A549, A431, HeLa, HEL (negative control) and U87-MG (negative control) cells were resolved by electrophoresis (4-12% Bis-Tris gel), transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, and probed with 0.5 µg/mL (1:1000 dilution) of purified anti-Cytokeratin 18 antibody, clone LDK18. Proteins were visualized using chemiluminescence detection by incubating the membrane with a 1:3000 dilution of HRP goat anti-mouse-IgG secondary antibody (Cat. No. 405306). Direct-Blot™ HRP anti-GAPDH antibody (1:2000 dilution, Cat. No. 649203) was used as a loading control (lower). Lane M: Molecular Weight Marker.

    HeLa cells were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 for ten minutes, and blocked with 5% FBS for 30 minutes. Then the cells were intracellularly stained with 2 µg/mL purified anti-cytokeratin 18 antibody (clone LDK18) for two hours at room temperature followed by Alexa Fluor® 594 conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (red) for one hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue). The image was captured with a 60X objective.

Description

Cytokeratin 18, also known as keratin 18, is a type I intermediate filament protein with a molecular weight of approximately 48 kD. Cytokeratin 18 is a heterotetramer composed of two type I and two type II keratins. Cytokeratin 18 associates with cytokeratin 8 and is widely expressed in simple epithelial tissues and is expressed at high levels in some tumor tissues. Cytokeratin 18 is associated with the cytoskeleton and mutations in this protein have been linked to cryptogenic cirrhosis. Cytokeratin 18 can be modified by glycosylation, phosphorylation (Ser34 and Ser53), acetylation (Ser2), and proteolytic cleavage at amino acids 238 and 397 by caspase family members. The cytokeratin 18 protein interacts with a number of proteins including caspase 3, 14-3-3γ, 14-3-3ζ, 14-3-3σ, 14-3-3β, 14-3-3η, keratin 5, keratin 8, TNF receptor II, plakophilin 2, EGF receptor, and usherin, among others.

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by Western blotting. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.125 - 0.5 µg/ml (1:1000 - 1:4000 dilution). For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 5.0 μg/ml is recommended. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Application Notes

Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include: immunohistochemistry1 on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue (IHC-P).
