Metastases of squamous cell carcinoma, lung, loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) No. 1. a Immunohistochemistry for acidic alpha-keratin (AE1 positive) showing strong immunoreactivity in all cells of the metastatic foci; note also the labelling of the normal epithelium of the bronchioles (*). Bar = 80 μm. b Immunohistochemistry for basic alpha-keratin (AE3 positive) in a small metastatic focus showing stratified squamous differentiation (arrows). Bar = 110 μm.
