CD10 immunostaining of bile canaliculi in liver biopsies: change of staining pattern with the development of cirrhosis

Aims : This study was prompted by published observations concerning the absence of normal bile canalicular CD10 staining in some cases of primary liver cell carcinoma. Our aim was to investigate the possibility that this loss of staining occurs prior to the development of cancer.
