All IHC stains will include a positive control tissue

• This antibody is best used as part of an antibody cocktail (created in our lab) with cytokeratins AE1-AE3 and MAK6; this antibody cocktail is called "Cytokeratin cocktail or CK cocktail"
• When used in a cocktail, this antibody can identify most cytokeratins
