title: Further immunohistochemical study of Crooke's hyalin.
abstract: For analysis of the cytokeratin (CK) of Crooke's cells, 28 post-mortem pituitary glands with unequivocal Crooke's hyaline change were investigated immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibodies for CK subfamilies. Crooke's hyalin was positive for CK 8 [molecular weight 52.5 kilodalton (KD)] and 18 (45 KD) but negative for skin-, cornea- and esophageal-typed CKs.
