Differential Expression of Proliferation-Associated Molecules in Individual Micrometastatic Carcinoma Cells

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The development of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to cytokeratins, which are integral components of the epithelial cytoskeleton, has made possible immunocytochemical detection of epithelial tumor cells. Importantly, this technique allows the detection of epithelial tumor cells that have metastasized from primary adenocarcinomas to secondary sites such as the bone marrow. PURPOSE: The aim of the study...
