The CD44v6 epitope has been widely reported to be expressed in human mammary carcinomas, yet its prognostic significance is controversial and its function in mammary tumors and mammary glands is unknown. To begin to resolve these issues, we analysed in detail the normal postnatal expression patterns and regulation of the CD44v6 epitope in murine mammary glands. We demonstrate that significant CD44v6 epitope...
