PURPOSE: Tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) is present in the proteolytic fragments of cytokeratins 8, 18 and 19 as a component of the cytoskeleton of nonsquamous epithelia. HER-2/neu protein is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase cell surface growth factor receptor that is expressed on normal epithelial and some cancer cells. The urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is a GPI-linked single-chain...
