Abstract excerpt

Phenotypic characteristics of cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) of 14 salivary gland pleomorphic adenomas were studied by indirect immunofluorescence. All cells in the epithelial structures expressed cytokeratin 8, the majority of cells produced vimentin, laminin and IV type collagen. Cells of...
