Using antibodies to type IV collagen, basement membrane (BM) deposition at the tumor-stromal border was studied in 163 cases of colorectal carcinomas. Immunoreactivity was scored semiquantitatively as moderate/extensive versus limited BM deposition and correlated with Dukes' stages and survival data
Basement membranes (BMs) in 201 soft tissue tumours were quantified using computerized image analysis of tissues immunostained for laminin and type IV collagen. The purpose of the study was to compare and quantify the extent of BM deposition in a large and varied group of benign and malignant tumour
The basement membrane models which have been proposed to date are generally based on biochemical data, mainly binding studies and artificially synthesized polymers in vitro. Basically these have led to models proposing two three-dimensional laminin-1 and collagen type IV networks interconnected by n
