Figure 3. NBCCS fibroblasts in organotypic cultures over-express TNC.
Organotypic skin cultures with control keratinocytes and the indicated fibroblasts were developed and 5 µm paraffin sections were immunolabelled using anti-human TNC antibody. Note the barely detectable labelling of TNC in control dermis and its increase in both NBCCS fibroblast strains tested (6 and 10).
