Location of the source of the soluble skin surface proteins of cattle by immunofluorescence.
The soluble skin surface proteins of cattle are located between the squames of the stratum corneum and are derived from sweat, sebum and the epidermis itself. However, the sweat gland, especially at high ambient temperatures, appears to be the most important source of at least some of these proteins.
