Ectoenzyme regulation by phenotypically distinct fibroblast sub-populations isolated from the human mammary gland.

Abstract excerpt

Inter- and intralobular mammary fibroblasts have been separated from normal human breast tissue and cultured to study the differential expression of ectoenzymes present within the stroma of the normal gland and associated with breast cancers. Specific ectoenzymes were identified by indirect immunofluorescence and quantified by flow cytometry and semi-quantitative PCR. A consistent difference was noted between the...
