“…The immunofluorescence reaction was performed as described previously (Kreft et al, 2005b). Each antibody used in this study has been previously extensively tested in our lab by performing immunofluorescence as well as immunohistochemistry by biotinylated secondary antibodies on cell cultures and on cryo‐ and paraffin‐sections of pig, mouse, rat, and human urinary bladder urothelium tissue sections (unpublished research and Kreft et al, , , , , 2010; Visnjar et al, ; Visnjar and Kreft, , ; Zupancic et al, , , ; Zupancic and Romih, ). The panel of antibodies we used was: CK 7 (mouse monoclonal antibody, diluted 1:20, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark), vimentin (rabbit polyclonal antibody, diluted 1:20, Dako), desmin (rabbit polyclonal antibody, diluted 1:40, Sigma), collagen I (mouse monoclonal antibody, diluted 1:200, Sigma), occludin (rabbit polyclonal antibody, diluted 1:20, Zymed Laboratories, San Francisco, CA, USA), E‐cadherin (mouse monoclonal antibody, diluted 1:20, Transduction Laboratories, Lexington, KY, USA), uroplakins (rabbit polyclonal antibody, diluted 1:10.000, a kind gift from Prof. dr.
