  • Title: Coexistence of cytokeratin, vimentin and neurofilament protein in human choroid plexus. An immunohistochemical study of intermediate filaments in neuroepithelial tissues.

    Journal: Virchows Arch A Pathol Anat Histopathol; 1986; 410(3):173-7. PubMed ID: 2432723.
    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.
