CK5 is distributed in many non-keratinizing stratified squamous epithelia such as tongue mucosa, basal epithelia, hair follicles, trachea, as well as basal cells in prostate glands and myoepithelial cells in mammary glands.15-19 CK5 is also expressed in most epithelial and biphasic mesotheliomas. CK5 has also been noted in large cell carcinomas and pulmonary squamous cell […]
