Abstract excerpt
Cytokeratin (CK) expression in tumors generally reflects the CK pattern of the corresponding normal epithelium. Pancreas cancers express CK of simple epithelia 7, 8, 18 and 19, as normal ductal cells. To analyze whether CK of complex or stratified epithelia are abnormally expressed in pancreas cancers, we have used polypeptide-specific mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) detecting CK 5, CK 10, CK 13, CK 14 and CK...
