A Quantitative Analysis of the Epithelium-Connective Tissue Interface in Relation to Assessments of the Mitotic Index

This paper describes the individual variations in the length and area of the basement membrane and in the volume of the epithelium. The wide variations in the area of the basement membrane and the total epithelial cell population necessitates the introduction of a new method for calculating mitotic activity and turnover rate. A new mitotic index system is suggested.
