Notes

ab239850 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Cytokeratin 15 antibody [EPR1614Y] ab52816.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

Cytokeratin 15 often abbreviated as CK15 bsa-15 or keratin 15 is an intermediate filament protein known for its role in the structural integrity of epithelial cells. It weighs approximately 50 kilodaltons. This protein is mainly expressed in the basal layer of stratified squamous epithelia such as the epidermis and the hair follicle. CK15 is an essential part of the cytoskeleton contributing to cell shape and mechanical resilience.

Biological function summary

CK15 plays a significant role in maintaining epithelial stem cell populations. It is part of the keratin protein family where it forms a complex network with other cytokeratins to support epithelial cell stability. CK15 has been shown to mark epithelial progenitor cells hinting at its role in tissue regeneration and repair. Its expression levels often reflect the cellular origin and differentiation state particularly in the skin and associated structures.

Pathways

CK15 is involved in pathways related to epithelial cell differentiation and homeostasis. It interacts within the cytoskeletal network alongside other cytokeratins like keratin 5. CK15 contributes to pathways that regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. It participates in the wound healing process where keratin 6 and keratin 17 also play important roles. This involvement allows it to impact how epithelial cells respond to and repair after damage.

Associated diseases and disorders

CK15 has been associated with skin disorders and certain types of cancers. Its expression is often altered in squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma where abnormal CK15 levels can influence tumor behavior. Additionally changes in CK15 expression are linked to alopecia relating it to proteins like keratin 5 and keratin 8 which have similar expression patterns in hair follicles. Understanding CK15's role may aid in developing biomarkers for diagnosis and therapeutic targets.

    We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody.
    Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.
