Source
A mouse was immunized with cytokeratin purified from human esophagus. Antibody producing cells were isolated after fusing the spleen cells of this mouse with murine myeloma cells by selecting the cells that produced antibodies capable of staining human epithelia in thin sections.

Specification:
The antibody stains non-cornifying squamous epithelium and transitional epithelium of the bladder, cells in certain ciliated pseudo-stratified epithelia and ductal epithelia of various exocrine glands. In immunoblotting experiments the antibody was shown to recognize only cytokeratin no.4 (59 kDa).
