The results revealed that AMSCs isolated from normal tissues surrounding primary breast tumors were positive for the stem cell markers epithelial-specific antigen and keratin-19.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of CK19 within different cancer types, and to compare its expression in breast tumours and axillary nodes before and after treatment.
Prognostic value of the molecular detection of circulating tumor cells using a multimarker reverse transcription-PCR assay for cytokeratin 19, mammaglobin A, and HER2 in early breast cancer.
Immunohistochemical staining of sections from a breast tumor tissue microarray of 97 tumors showed moderate to strong staining against anti-CK19 antibody in 20 (5 with moderate and 15 with strong staining) of the 26 HER-2/neu-positive tumors (76.9%) and in 22 (12 with moderate and 10 with strong staining) of 52 HER-2/neu-negative tumors (48%) (p = 0.002).

Flow cytometric analysis of DNA content and keratins by using CK7, CK8, CK18, CK19, and KL1 monoclonal antibodies in benign and malignant human breast tumors.
