Suprabasal myoepithelial cells: resting (thin arrows) and proliferative (thick arrows) cells. Immunohistochemical expression of a panel of antibodies applied by IHC, 63x (a) Hematoxylin-eosin; (b) anti-CK19 antibodies labeling the cytoplasm; (c) anti-ER antibodies labeling the nuclei; (d) anti-CK 5/6 antibodies labeling the cytoplasm; (e) anti-CK14 antibodies labeling the cytoplasm; (f) anti-VIM antibodies labeling the cytoplasm; (g) anti-Alpha-SMA antibodies labeling the cytoplasmic membrane; (h) anti-p63 antibodies labeling the nuclei.
