Abstract
The expression of intermediate filament proteins in human brain ependyma and choroid plexus epithelium has been studied by immunohistochemistry using a panel of monoclonal antibodies directed against all five classes of intermediate filaments. Ependymal cells express GFAP and vimentin filaments, whereas plexus epithelium simultaneously contains neurofilaments, cytokeratins and vimentin, a phenomenon not previously observed in normal cells in vivo. By means of specific antibodies we were able to establish that cytokeratins 8 and 18 but not 19 are present in plexus epithelium.Entities:
