Expression of basal cell keratin 15 and keratin 19 in oral squamous neoplasms represents diverse pathophysiologies.

Abstract excerpt

Human epithelium contains keratin, which is expressed during differentiation. Depending on the target cell type, different types of keratin are expressed, and their alterations seem to represent changes in cell properties. The basal cells of oral epithelium express keratin 5 (K5), K14, K15 and K19, but their alterations in tumors are unclear. To address this issue and to seek possible diagnostic application, we...
