January 1993 in “Nihon Chikusan Gakkaiho” The study investigated the expression of trichocytic cytokeratin subunits during hair development in rat embryonal skin, focusing on the Ha 1 and Ha 4 subunits. Researchers developed a monoclonal antibody (MAb 17) that specifically reacted with trichocytic cytokeratins, particularly Ha 1 and Ha 4, but not with other type I or type II keratin families. Using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting, they found that MAb 17 recognized epitopes preserved in Ha 1 and Ha 4. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that trichocytic cytokeratin expression began at embryonic day 18 in body hair and by day 17 in whiskers, suggesting a correlation between hair follicle formation and the onset of trichocytic cytokeratin expression, with whisker follicle formation occurring earlier than body hair.
