Notes

Cytokeratins are a subfamily of intermediate filament proteins and are characterized by a remarkable biochemical diversity, represented in epithelial tissues by at least 20 different polypeptides. They range in molecular weight between 40 kDa and 68 kDa and isoelectric pH between 4.9 – 7.8. The individual cytokeratin polypeptides are numbered 1 to 20. The various epithelia in the human body usually express cytokeratins which are not only characteristic of the type of epithelium, but also related to the degree of maturation or differentiation within an epithelium. Cytokeratin subtype expression patterns are used to an increasing extent in the distinction of different types of epithelial malignancies. The cytokeratin antibodies are not only of assistance in the differential diagnosis of tumors using immunohistochemistry on tissue sections, but are also a useful tool in cytopathology and flow cytometric assays.

    Overlay histogram showing MCF-7 cells stained with ab9023 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.5% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab9023, 2μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H&L) (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96879) at 1/250 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (Mouse IgG1, Kappa Monoclonal [B11/6] - Isotype Control ab91353, 2μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions.

    ab9023 staining human normal liver parenchima tissue. Staining is localized to cell membrane.
    Left panel: with primary antibody at 4 ug/ml. Right panel: isotype control.
    Sections were stained using an automated system DAKO Autostainer Plus , at room temperature. Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3-in-1 AR buffer EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 minutes. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 minutes and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.

    (A) Cell surface expression of CD44 was analyzed by flow cytometry. The violet area in the plot is relative to human IgG1; CD44 signals are showed in green for WT MIA PaCa-2, in pink for PGS MIA PaCa-2 and in black for ANXA1 KO MIA PaCa-2. (B) RT-PCR for K18 mRNA expression measured on levels of HPRT. Values are expressed using the delta-delta Ct method to derive relative fold change. ***p < 0.001. (C,D) Western blots showing K8, ANXA1, lamin A/C, vimentin and GAPDH expression in WT, PGS and ANXA1 KO MIA PaCa-2 cells. (E,F) Vimentin and lamin A/C relative expression was analyzed by densitometry. The optical density of the protein bands was normalized on GAPDH levels giving to the control band an arbitrary value of 100. The blots were exposed to Las4000 (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) and the relative intensities of bands were determined using ImageQuant software (GE Healthcare Life Sciences). (G) Immunofluorescence analysis to detect ANXA1 (red; panels a, b, c), vimentin (yellow; panels d, e, f), lamin A/C (purple; panel g, h, i) and F-actin (green; panels l, m, n) in WT, PGS and ANXA1 KO MIA PaCa-2. Nuclei were stained with DAPI. Magnification 63 × 1.4 NA. Bar = 10 μm. (H) Fluorescence intensity for ANXA1, vimentin and lamin A/C signals (arbitrary units, A.U.) using ImageJ software; determined on 150 cells (for three independent experiments). The results relative to ANXA1 KO MIA PaCa-2 are representative ± SEM of almost three analyzed clones with a similar behaviour.
