  1. Given are the intensity of K8 expression, diagnostic findings, percentages of positive cells within affected tissues, and localisation of the healthy mucosa.
  2. -: no staining; +: weak; ++: intermediate, +++: strong. Chron. Tonsillitis: chronic tonsillitis; Ton Ca: tonsillar carcinoma.
  3. *: CK8-positive cells represented either dysplatic or carcinoma cells within samples assessed.
