Intermediate-sized filaments of the prekeratin type in myoepithelial cells
Myoepithelial cells from mammary glands, the modified sweat glands of bovine muzzle, and salivary glands have been studied by electron microscopy and by immunofluorescence microscopy in frozen sections in an attempt to further characterize the type of intermediate-sized filaments present in these cells. Electron microscopy has shown that all myoepithelial cells contain extensive meshworks of in...
متن کاملExpression of Keratin and Vimentin Intermediate Filaments
Rabbit bladder epithelium, grown on collagen gels and exposed to the chemical carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene, produced nontumorigenic altered foci as well as tumorigenic epithelial cell lines during 120-180d in culture. Immunofluorescence studies revealed extensive keratin filaments in both primary epithelial cells and benzo[a]pyrene-induced altered epithelial foci but showed no detectable vimentin ...
متن کاملHuman eccrine sweat gland. Expression of neuroglandular antigens and coexpression of intermediate filaments.
Acrosyringium, duct and secretory epithelium as well as myoepithelial cells of human eccrine sweat glands have been characterized by different immunostaining patterns with mono- and polyclonal antibodies to a wide spectrum of tissue antigens. Using monoclonal antibodies to neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and melanoma-associated antigens (LS 59, HMB-45, NKI/C-3) the expression of neuroectodermal a...
متن کاملIn Vitro Assembly and Structure of Trichocyte Keratin Intermediate Filaments
Intermediate filaments (IF) have been recognized as ubiquitous components of the cytoskeletons of eukaryotic cells for 25 yr. Historically, the first IF proteins to be characterized were those from wool in the 1960s, when they were defined as low sulfur keratins derived from "microfibrils." These proteins are now known as the type Ia/type IIa trichocyte keratins that constitute keratin IF of se...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of sweat gland myoepithelial cells from human skin.
Stem cells routinely maintain the main epidermal components, i.e. the interfollicular epidermis, hair follicles, and sweat glands. Human sweat glands present throughout the body are glandular exocrine organs that mainly play a role in thermoregulation by sweating. Emerging evidence points to the presence of stem cells in sweat glands, but it remains unclear whether such stem cells exist in huma...
