Background: The aim of the study was to demonstrate the immunohistochemical expression of proteins that affect the metastatic potential of a tumour, including matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) and E-cadherin. Another objective was to determine their correlation with the expression of the Ki-67 antigen in metastasizing and non-metastasizing mammary carcinomas in female dogs. The study was condu...

A total of 373 isolates of Escherichia coli were obtained from one or more calves with diarrhea in 155 herds during the 1974 calving season in Montana. Sixty-seven (18 percent) of the isolates representing 59 of the 155 herds were found to be enterotoxigenic as indicated by their ability to cause distention of the calf ligated intestinal segment. The 67 isolates of enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC...

PURPOSE Ki-67 is a nuclear protein that is expressed at all phases of the cell cycle except the resting phase. This study is a clinicopathologic observational case report that aims to report on the cell proliferation rates, as measured by the Ki-67 antigen, in two enucleated retinoblastoma eyes. METHODS One unilateral familial (mother with unilateral disease - patient 1) and one unilateral sp...
