Abstract

Twenty normal canine tissue specimens, both fetal and adult; 19 epithelial neoplasms; and 18 nonepithelial neoplasms were examined using 6 commercially available monoclonal antibodies differing in their recognition of various molecular weight cytokeratins in human tissues. Fresh tissue samples were fixed in 100% ethanol and paraffin embedded prior to sectioning. The intermediate filament proteins were identified by an avidin-biotin-immunoperoxidase method. Primary antisera used included AE1/AE3, CAM-5.2, 35BH11, 34BE12, PKK1, MAK-6 cytokeratins, and vimentin. Monoclonal antibodies detected cytokeratins in a wide variety of canine epithelial tissues and neoplasms. Normal mesenchymal tissues and neoplasms, and stromal elements of epithelial tissues, showed no reactivity with anti-cytokeratins, but reacted positively with vimentin. Although PKK1, CAM-5.2, and MAK-6 were the most consistently reactive anti-cytokeratins, the full panel of monoclonals was required to detect cytokeratins in all of the epithelia evaluated.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
