Cytokeratin expression in human stomach. Immunofluorescence study.
Twenty one samples of normal human stomach were examined for the cytokeratin pattern by immunofluorescence microscopy of cryostat sections. In all cases epithelial cells of stomach showed reactivity with monoclonal antibodies directed against individual cytokeratins No. 8,18 and 19. In 5 cases epithelial cells of stomach were also positive for keratin 7. The results show that there are "subtype" of gastric epithelial cells, positive for keratin No. 7.
