PRATICAL VALUE OF THREE TYPES OF ANTI- KERATIN ANTIBODIES AND IMMUNO-PEROXIDASE TECHNIQUE IN ROUTINE HISTOPATHOLOGICAL STUDY OF SKIN / 重庆医科大学学报

ABSTRACT

This paper reports the use of three different types of anti-keratin antibodies and immuno-peroxidase technique in the staining of various skin tumors paraffin-embedded. The results showed that three types of anti-keratin antibodies (Cam5.2, AF2 and PK)didn't stain none-pithelial tumors and,expressed their inherent different staining patterns for epithelial tumors derived f from different tissues. Therefore, three types of. anti-keratin antibodies may be helpful for diagnosis, differential diagnosis and classification of complex skin tumors in routine histopathology of skin
