Expression of cytokeratin 7 in human glandular epithelium of fetal stomach.
Previously we reported the neo-expression of cytokeratin 7 in metaplastic and dysplastic stomach mucosa. In this study using immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting technique, we observed an cytokeratin 7 expression in the fetal and "infantile" human stomach, thus indicating an "oncofetal" behaviour of some simple epithelial type cytokeratins.
