Keratin 8 (KRT8) is a type II intermediate filament protein that pairs with keratin 18 to form the primary cytoskeletal network in simple epithelial cells. This structural protein plays essential roles in maintaining cellular integrity, mechanical resilience, and stress responses in tissues including liver, pancreas, and intestinal epithelium. Beyond its structural functions, KRT8 has emerged as a valuable marker in cancer research, where its expression patterns help distinguish carcinoma subtypes and inform diagnostic pathology.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 16A10, offers researchers the reproducibility advantages inherent to sequence-defined antibody production. Generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human KRT8 and produced in rabbit host, the recombinant format ensures consistent performance across experiments and eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations.
Validation studies demonstrate reliable performance in immunofluorescence and flow cytometry applications using human samples. In HeLa cells, immunofluorescence staining at dilutions of 1:50 to 1:200 reveals characteristic cytoplasmic filament distribution when combined with appropriate fixation and permeabilization protocols. Flow cytometry analysis of the same cell line confirms specific detection with clear separation from isotype control, supporting quantitative assessment of KRT8 expression at the single-cell level.
The unconjugated format provides flexibility for researchers to pair this antibody with their preferred secondary detection systems, accommodating diverse experimental designs and multiplexing strategies. Whether investigating epithelial differentiation, characterizing tumor phenotypes, or exploring cytoskeletal dynamics under cellular stress, this antibody delivers the consistency and validated performance that demanding research applications require.
