Abstract excerpt
Keratins are considered markers of epithelial differentiation. In lower vertebrates, however, immunoreactivity for keratin 8 and 18 has been reported in nonepithelial cells, particularly in mesenchymal progenitor cells of regenerating complex body structures. To confirm that such reactivity does indeed reflect keratin expression and to investigate their possible role in regeneration, we have isolated clones...
