Abstract
We provide evidence that interstitial Cajal‐like cells, previously described in human pancreas ‐ pICC (J Cel Mol Med, 9: 169, 2005), are positive for c‐kit irrespective of immunohistochemical procedures used. Various sample types (fresh cryosections or formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded specimens), various slide pretreatments (with or without heat‐induced epitope retrieval) or different antibodies used (Dako polyclonal or Santa Cruz monoclonal), all showed CD117‐positive pICC.
