Keratins are cytoplasmic intermediate filament proteins expressed by epithelial cells. Cytokeratin 5 is a type II keratin. This antibody detects metastatic carcinoma in the pleura, epithelial mesothelioma, almost all squamous cell carcinomas, half of transitional carcinomas, many undifferentiated large cell carcinomas and undifferentiated large cell carcinomas. A cocktail of CK5, its corresponding partner CK14 and p63 is useful to detect the basal-likephenotype of breast carcinoma and to differentiate normal and prostate cancer.
