The Ki‐67 protein interacts with members of the heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) family: a potential role in the regulation of higher‐order chromatin structure
26 Oct 2001
Abstract excerpt
The expression of the nuclear protein Ki-67 (pKi-67) is strictly correlated with cell proliferation. Because of this, anti-Ki-67 antibodies can be used as operational markers to estimate the growth fraction of human neoplasia in situ. For a variety of tumours, the assessment of pKi-67 expression has repeatedly been proven to be of prognostic value for survival and tumour recurrence, but no cellular function has...
