Thy-1+ epidermal cells are not demonstrable in rat and human skin.
Recent studies have revealed the presence of a population of Thy-1+ epidermal cells in murine epidermis. These experiments were designed to determine whether analogous Thy-1+ cell populations occur in rat and human epidermis. Thy-1+ cells could not be demonstrated in epidermal sheets derived from rat and human skin or in epidermal cell lines, KB and A431. To date, Thy-1+ epidermal cells have been observed only in murine epithelia. The cellular equivalent of the murine Thy-1+ cell in other species remains elusive.
