[Histonet] AE 13 stain?

[Andi Kappeler]

What is probably meant here is a cytokeratin marker which most often is sold
as a cocktail of 2 monoclonal antibodies, namely AE1 and AE3.
AE1 reacts with an epitope present on cytokeratins 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 19,
AE3 binds to an epitope found on cytokeratins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The
cocktail is often used as a 'pan-cytokeratin marker' like clone MNF116 or
clone Lu-5.
Hope this helps
