Expression of Cre and hence targeting of the floxed gene can be restricted to e.g. T cells (lck promoter), cardiac muscle (cardiac myosin promoter), neurons (enolase promoter) or epithelia (cytokeratin promoter).

Basal-like breast cancer has similarities with normal breast basal epithelial cells and is commonly identified by a lack of ER and HER2 receptor expression and by the expression of either cytokeratin 5/6 or epidermal growth factor receptor

In the cohort of the differentially expressed proteins identified by mass spectrometry, cytokeratin 8 (CK8), was further validated by immunostaining of freshly isolated cells and frozen tissue sections using monoclonal antibodies.

Among these, 77. 1% (27/35) were defined as basal-like by immunostaining specific for the established surrogate markers cytokeratin (CK) 5/6 and/or EGFR.
