Abstract In order to determine whether the cell strains obtained from seven cervical biopsies (five from cervical cancers and two from normal cervical tissue) arose from epithelial tissue, the presence of desmoglein-1 (DG-1) was evaluated using a polyclonal antibody against desmoglein-1 (anti-DG-1). Although some strains had a typical fibroblast morphology, all were positive for anti-DG-1. In consequence we assumed that all strains consisted of epithelial cells. On the other hand our results showed that cells from biopsies taken from patients with more advanced tumors presented lower levels of DG-1 than cells from patients in early stages. A discussion is provided as to whether these differences in DG-1 content can be related to the metastatic properties of the tumor.
