Cytokeratin 5 & 6 + TTF-1 (D5/16B4 + 8G7G3/1) on lung.
Cytokeratin 5 & 6 (D5/16B4) + TTF-1 (8G7G3/1) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody
Updated: 2017-05-24 08:46:09
Anti-Cytokeratin 5 & 6 is a marker for eptihelioid mesotheliomas. Anti-Cytokeratin 5 & 6 stains the cytoplasm of such cells. Anti-TTF-1 stains the nuclei in the case of lung adenocarcinomas and is negative in nearly all mesotheliomas. The nuclear vs. cytoplasmic staining pattern of this cocktail can be useful in distinguishing between mesothelioma and adenocarcinoma of the lung.1-7
