Abstract
Paraffin sections from 30 human breast tissue specimens were stained w ith a specific antibody for thymosin beta-10, ATB10(38-43). The result s showed that thymosin beta-10 was detected mainly in the malignant ti ssue, particularly in the cancerous cells, whereas the normal cell pop ulation around the lesions showed very weak staining. Also, the intens ity of staining in the cancerous cells was proportionally increased wi th the increasing grade of the lesions.
