Nitric oxide (NO) is synthesized by nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and plays an important role in tumour growth. In this study, inducible NOS (iNOS) expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 34 melanocytic naevi (13 common melanocytic naevi, six Spitz naevi, and 15 so-called 'dysplastic naev

## E-cadherin is a calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion molecule expressed by melanocytes and responsible for their adhesion to keratinocytes in vitro. In this study, the expression of E-cadherin and its associated cytoplasmic proteins -, -, and -catenin was evaluated in melanocytic lesions by imm
Hyaluronan (HA) is one of the extracellular-matrix components involved in wound healing, tumour growth and metastasis. Due to the limited data on HA expression in benign and malignant breast lesions, we analyzed its presence in these lesions by using the biotinylated-hyaluronan-binding region and th
## Abstract Using antisera for two specific basement membrane (b.m.) antigens such as laminin and collagen typeβIV, together with efectron microscopy, we have shown that fully antigenic b.m. and morphologically typical basal lamina (b.l.) are associated with normal and transformed cells of the mela
## BACKGROUND. Making a morphologic distinction between benign and malignant melanocytic tumors of the skin is frequently difficult, especially because "gray zones" between these lesions often exist. DNA image cytometry as an adjuvant method for the diagnosis and prognostic prediction of premaligna
The T-cell activation antigen CD26 or dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPP-IV) belongs to a group of membrane-bound proteases that are variably expressed by melanoma cell lines. In vitro studies have suggested that loss of CD26 is associated with tumour progression. To correlate its expression with the hist
