title: A cytokeratin profile of canine epithelial skin tumours.
abstract: The reactions of a number of epithelial skin tumours in dogs to a panel of monoclonal antibodies against different human cytokeratins (CKs) were examined immunohistochemically, the purpose being to detect a specific CK profile. CK 6 was present in all epithelial skin tumours with the exception of pilomatrixoma. CK 14 was found in basal cell-derived neoplasias and in sebaceous and perianal gland tumours. CK 10/11 was restricted to spinous cell-derived tumours and CK 8/18 was limited to sweat gland tumours.
