Abstract

Normal breast tissue comprises mesenchymal and epithelial components, which in their turn includes ductal and acinar (lobular) and myoepithelial components with each cell type having its characteristic immunoprofile. The immunoprofile of breast tumors depends on the origin of neoplastic cells.
