In contrast, Joka et al describe that M65, another epitope which is present in both caspase-cleaved and uncleaved CK-18, is more sensitive and specific than M30 for the detection of lower fibrosis stages and steatosis severity in many forms of chronic liver disease, including CHC; although M65 and M30 were not individually analyzed in the context of each disease etiology [48]. Here, KRT18 is linked to steatosis.
