Reacts with the 45 kDa protein corresponding to cytokeratin 18. The antibody labels a large number of simple epithelia, including many ductal and glandular epithelia. The antibody is a useful aid for classification of tumors of epithelial origin. In vascular tumors, the antibody may be a useful aid in the classification of epithelioid hemangioendotheliomas.

Specificity
In Western blotting of cytokeratin preparations from BT 20 cells, the antibody labels a single band of 45 kDa corresponding to CK18 (7). In immunocytochemistry on human cultured cell lines, the antibody labels tumor cells of epithelial origin, whereas normal fibroblasts and tumor cells of non-epithelial origin such as glioma, melanoma and osteosarcoma, are not labeled (7).
