Background
Mab RCK 106 specifically recognizes all simple type epithelia. The antibody is not reactive with stratified and non-stratified squamous epithelia.
Polypeptide reacting: 45 kD keratin K18 (formerly also designated cytokeratin 18).
Positive control: Glandular epithelium (e.g. endocervix).

Most of our purified mouse antibodies contain 0.5% BSA as stabilizer. If BSA was added to the antibody solution, it is stated in the datasheet.
The supernatant format contains FCS proteins from cell culture medium supplemented with FCS.
The serum antibodies contain other proteins present in serum.

Lyophilized antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C until expiration.
Most of our liquid antibodies and reconstituted lyophilized antibodies may be stored for short term storage (up to 3 month) at 2-8°C. For long term storage we recommend to store the antibody at -20°C in aliquots. Please avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
Most of our conjugated antibodies should be stored at 2-8°C.
The individual storage conditions are mentioned on the datasheet.

Isolation of positive area from tissue slices under the microscope, followed by extraction procedure to enrich for the cytoskeleton.
Positive tissue: outer root sheath of hair follicle, sweat gland epithelium on the foot pads, filiform papillae of tongue.

- Homogenization (e.g. with polytron) of tissue samples in buffer L (140 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 5 mM EGTA, 10 mM Tris-HCl pH7.6) supplemented with protease inhibitors; use 1 ml buffer for approx. 0.1 g tissue.
- To reduce viscosity by high DNA contents, benzonase treatment can be included (30 min at 37°C).
- Centrifugation for 10 min (max. speed, table top centrifuge).
- Resuspend pellet in "Triton extraction buffer" (buffer L plus 1% Triton X-100) using e.g. a dounce homogenizer.
- Centrifugation for 10 min (max. speed, table top centrifuge).
- Resuspend pellet in "high salt extraction buffer" (buffer L plus 1.5 M KCl) using e.g. a dounce homogenizer.
- Centrifugation for 10 min (max. speed, table top centrifuge).

Most of our antibodies contain 0.09% sodium azide as preservative. If a preservative is added, it is mentioned in the datasheet.
The optimal antibody dilution for your specific protocol and application needs to be titrated in your lab with your equipment and sample. The optimal dilution may vary between protocols and samples. A good dilution for starting the titration is the dilution mentioned in the datasheet. If the sample needs a specific treatment (eg. Antigen retrieval for IHC on FFPE sections) this should also be mentioned on the antibody datasheet.
PROGEN antibodies are shipped at ambient temperature. The antibodies are stable at ambient temperature for the shipment period. Please store the antibodies as indicated in the datasheet upon arrival.
