title: Double immunohistochemical labeling technique applied to different types of cytokeratins in epithelial proliferations of the breast.
abstract: The double labeling technique using peroxidase and alkaline phosphatase for immunohistochemistry is well known, but must be adapted according to the antibodies used, fixation, and technical conditions. The technique allows identification on one slide of two antigens that are localized in the same or different cells of the same lesion. The aim of this paper is to describe the adaptation of this technique to cytokeratins of normal mammary tissue and proliferative lesions of the breast.
