We have used antibodies raised against milk fat globule membranes for luminal epithelial cells and CD10 (CALLA) for myoepithelial cells in the rat breast ( Antibodies to cell surface associated antigens distinguishing luminal epithelial and myoepithelial cells in the rat mammary gland.

In humans, we have used CD10 for myoepithelial cells and anti-epithelial membrane antigen for the luminal cells (Characterisation in vitro of luminal and myoepithelial cells isolated from the human breast by cell sorting using antibodies to EMA and CALLA.
