The cell proliferation antigen Ki-67 organises heterochromatin
Antigen Ki-67 is a nuclear protein expressed in proliferating mammalian cells. It is widely used in cancer histopathology but its functions remain unclear. Here, we show that Ki-67 controls heterochromatin organisation.

Ki-67 Antigen; A Valuable Prognostic Biomarker for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia [PDF]
Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is one of the most common blood malignancies. The chief cells involved in this malignancy are in the G0 phase of cell division and have no proliferative activity; however, what determines the severity and ...

Cigarette Smoking, Oncogenic Human Papillomavirus, Ki-67 Antigen, and Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia [PDF]
Although cigarette smoking has been identified as a cofactor for cervical neoplasia, it is not clear whether smoking exerts an early or late effect on the evolution of human papillomavirus (HPV)-related lesions. A case-control study of Washington State women who presented for routine gynecologic care from 1997 to 2001 was conducted. All women underwent

Expression of Metallothionein I/II and Ki-67 Antigen in Graves' Disease [PDF]
The expression of metallothionein I/II (MT-I/II) was examined in thyroids of Graves' disease (GD) and nodular goiter (NG) patients to determine its role as a potential marker of proliferation and autoimmune inflammation in the thyroid.MT-I/II and Ki-67 antigen expression was studied using immunohistochemistry in 72 GD and 24 NG patients.MT-I/II ...

Expression of Ki-67—–A Proliferation-Associated Antigen—in Prostatic Cancer
The expression of the proliferation-associated antigen Ki-67 was studied in human prostatic cancer. The antigen was analyzed with an immuno-histochemical technique in TUR specimens. A correlation was seen between Ki-67 positivity and differentiation grade. All TUR specimens (15/15) with poorly differentiated carcinomas expressed the antigen. Moderately
