Abstract

Ulex europaeus agglutinin 1 (UEA-1) lectin-binding is a feature of canine intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells but not of canine hepatocytes. In tumours diagnosed histologically as cholangiocarcinomas or hepatocellular carcinomas, UEA-1 staining occurred in tumour cells regardless of histological appearance. The division of primary liver carcinomas into different presumed cell types of origin is not reflected by equivalent differentiation of the tumour cells and is not of diagnostic value.
