Immunohistochemical Analysis of Cytokeratin 7 Expression in Resting and Proliferating Biliary Structures of Rat Liver *
20 Sept 2005
Abstract excerpt
Cytokeratins are the largest subfamily of intermediate filament proteins and include more than 20 different gene products, which are expressed in an epithelial tissue-specific manner. We studied by immunohistochemistry and confocal microscopy the distribution of cytokeratin subtypes in the biliary system of adult rat liver. A cytokeratin (CK)19+/7- cholangiocyte population was observed in the smaller branches of...
