[Histonet] mouse bile duct epithelium

[Jan Shivers]

I have used a rat monoclonal against mouse cytokeratin CK8 (clone TROMA-1;
from U of Iowa Hybridoma Bank).  It stained well, but at the dilution
recommended (1:2) I felt there was nonspecific background as well.  With
more of a work-up, this could probably be improved.

In the following article you will find other mouse CKs listed and their
sources-  Spontaneous mouse mammary tumors: incidence and cytokeratin
expression; Research in Veterinary Science; 1997; 63; 85-89.
