Abstract: |
Methods, kits, and apparatus for locating, labelling, and accessing breast ducts are described. An orifice to one or more ductal networks is labelled using a specific binding substance, typically an antibody, specific for a tissue marker present on the orifice. Exemplary tissue markers include those present on the ductal epithelium, such as cytokeratins, including cytokeratin 8 and cytokeratin 18; E cadhedrin; and epithelial membrane antigen. Labelling of the ductal orifices permits reliable identification and access to each of the multiple ductal networks which may be present in an individual breast.

What is claimed is:
1. A method for locating an orifice of a breast duct, said method comprising:
- labeling cellular material at the orifice with a detectable label coupled to an antibody specific for a tissue marker characteristic of the tissue at the ductal orifice; and
- locating the orifice based on the presence of said label at the orifice.
