Identification of intermediate cell types by keratin expression in the developing human prostate
1 Mar 1998
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The secretory acini of the adult human prostate contain basal, luminal, and intermediate types of exocrine cells. Intermediate cells are thought to play an important role in normal growth and neoplastic transformation. In this study we investigated whether this cell type is present in early stages of prostate development, using keratin antibodies specific for them. METHODS: Autoptic tissue from 11...
