A formalin-fixation and paraffin-processing resistant epitope of Ki-67 cell proliferation-associated antigen was immunohistochemically detected by the MIB-1 monoclonal antibody (Immunotech, Marseille, France) in 25 routinely processed cervical biopsies showing normal squamous epithelium or squamous metaplasia and in 65 cervical intraepithelial lesions (SILs) (44 low grade and 21 high grade SILs) with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Expression of Ki-67 antigen was exclusively confined to the parabasal and basal layers of normal and metaplastic epithelium. There was no significant difference of Ki-67 antigen immunostaining between normal cervical biopsies and cases of squamous metaplasia. In SIL specimens, the staining was markedly increased in the parabasal and basal layers and Ki-67-positive cells were also distributed in the intermediate (low grade SIL) or all layers of epithelium (high grade SIL). Statistically significant differences for the density of Ki-67 antigen-labeled cells, which were assessed with an image analysis system, were found in comparisons between normal or metaplastic epithelium and SILs (P < .001) and between low grade SILs and high grade SILs (P < .001). In our series of SILs, HPV 16/18 and 31/33/35/novel types, which were found in both low grade and high grade SILs, were significantly associated with higher densities of Ki-67 antigen-positive cells than HPV 6/11 types that were found exclusively in low grade SILs. There was no significant difference found between the densities of Ki-67 antigen-labeled cells in HPV 16/18-positive and HPV 31/33/35/novel types-positive tissues in our series of SILs taken as a whole or when segregating SILs into low grade and high grade.
