Cytokeratin-18 expression has been shown in but is not limited to cells and tissues from lung, breast, intestine, gut, colon, kidney, pancreas, bladder and trophoblasts. Cytokeratin 18, Caspase-cleaved monoclonal antibody has been shown in numerous independent studies to be specific to the CK18 Asp396 caspase cleavage site (M30-neoepitope) and represents a well-established, validated apoptosis marker that does not react with viable or necrotic cells.
