Abstract excerpt
The expression of heat shock proteins HSP60 and HSP70 and cytokeratins CK1/10 and CK7/18 were compared in epithelium of oral lichen planus (OLP) lesions and oral fibromas using an avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) immunohistochemical method. An immunostaining intensity distribution (IID) index was developed to assess staining intensity and the proportion of positively stained cells in different layers of the...
