Multiple immunohistochemical stains, including cytokeratin (CK)5/6, are used in a panel format to identify “basal-like ” carcinomas. We set out to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the CK5 antibody (clone XM26) and compared its expression with that of CK5/6 (clone D5/16B4) in a variety of breast carcinoma cases. The study was performed on 3 breast carcinoma tissue microarrays (TMAs). TMA-1 consisted of 59 consecutive breast carcinoma cases. TMA-2 (n = 16) and TMA-3 (n = 11) consisted of basal-like breast carcinomas previously characterized morphologically and immunohistochemically at our institution. Of the 86 total cases, 20 were positive for CK5 and CK5/6, 14 were positive for CK5 only, and 52 were negative for both. The sensit...
