Background of KRT5
Cytokeratin 5, also known as KRT5, K5, or CK5, is a protein that is encoded in humans by the KRT5 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the keratin gene family. The type II cytokeratins consist of basic or neutral proteins which are arranged in pairs of heterotypic keratin chains coexpressed during differentiation of simple and stratified epithelial tissues. This type II cytokeratin is specifically expressed in the basal layer of the epidermis with family member KRT14. Mutations in these genes have been associated with a complex of diseases termed epidermolysis bullosa simplex. The type II cytokeratins are clustered in a region of chromosome 12q12-q13.
Antibody Validation
Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of Cytokeratin 5 using anti-Cytokeratin 5 antibody (A00398).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample unde
r reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human A431 whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: human Hacat whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: human MCF-7 whole cell lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-Cytokeratin 5 antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # A00398) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Cytokeratin 5 at approximately 62 kDa. The expected band size for Cytokeratin 5 is at 62 kDa.

Figure 2. IHC analysis of Cytokeratin 5 using anti-Cytokeratin 5 antibody (A00398).
Cytokeratin 5 was detected in paraffin-embedded section of human tonsil tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1μg/ml rabbit anti-Cytokeratin 5 Antibody (A00398) overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC)(Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.

Question
We are currently using anti-Cytokeratin 5/KRT5 antibody A00398 for human tissue, and we are well pleased with the WB results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, mouse, rat. Is it true that the antibody can work on pig tissues as well?

Asked: 2020-05-01
Answer
The anti-Cytokeratin 5/KRT5 antibody (A00398) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with pig tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in pig you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Question
We purchased anti-Cytokeratin 5/KRT5 antibody for IHC on ectocervix in a previous experiment. I am using mouse, and We intend to use the antibody for WB next. We need examining ectocervix as well as liver in our next experiment. Could you please give me some suggestion on which antibody would work the best for WB?
