Flow cytometry and Immunoflourescent analysis of Cytokeratin 14, 15, 16 and 19 in human A431 cells. (Left Panel) Human A431 (Human epithelial carcinoma; ATCC CRL-1555) cell line were fixed with a 1% solution of paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100. The cells were washed with BD Pharmingen™ Stain Buffer (FBS) (Cat. No. 554656) and then stained with either Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse IgG1 κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 557732/557783; dashed line histogram) or Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human Cytokeratin 14, 15, 16 and 19 antibody (Cat. No. 563648; solid line histogram). The fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of intact A431 cells. Flow cytometric analysis was performed using a BD™ LSR II Flow Cytometer System. (Right Panel) Human A431 cells (Human epithelial carcinoma; ATCC CRL-1555) were fixed with BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 554655), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 buffer, and stained with Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse Anti-Human Cytokeratin 14, 15, 16 and 19 monoclonal antibody (Cat. No. 563648; pseudo-colored red). The counter-staining of cell nuclei was with BD Pharmingen™ DAPI Solution (pseudo-colored blue)(Cat. No.564907). The images were captured on a BD Pathway™ 435 Cell Analyzer and merged using BD Attovision™ software. Permeabilization with BD Perm/Wash™ (Cat No. 554723) or BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050) is also suitable for use with this antibody.

Preparation And Storage
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 was removed.
Product Notices
- This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
- The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.

Antibody Details
KA4
The KA4 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to cytokeratins 14, 15, 16 and 19 present in the cytoplasm of a wide variety of human simple epithelium. Human epithelium has been shown to contain cytoplasmic filaments of the cytokeratin type. There have been 19 different polypeptides identified and they demonstrate a characteristic pattern for each type of epithelium. This antibody is useful for intracellular staining and flow cytometric analysis, Western blot and immunohistochemical staining of both, acetone-fixed frozen tissue sections and formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections with citrate pretreatment.

Format Details
Alexa Fluor™ 647
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
