The lu-5 antibody recognizes an epitope on the surface of cytokeratin filaments which is present in a wide range of cytokeratins, except in intermediate-size filament proteins. This epitope may be found in all human epithelia and carcinomas and is resistant to formalin-fixation. The lu-5 antibody was determined is a useful pan cytokeratin marker for the detection of both normal and malignant epithelial and mesothelial cells. The lu-5 antibody stains surface of cytokeratin filaments in a wide variety of normal and tumor tissues.
