  • Title: The contractile nature of the tubular-like cells of the parietal layer of the Bowman's capsule in male mice. An immunochemical and ultrastructural study.
    Author: Melis M, Carpino F, Familiari G, Cavallotti C.
    Journal: Acta Anat (Basel); 1977; 98(1):31-8. PubMed ID: 324225.
    Abstract:
    The tubule-like cells (TLC) of the parietal layer of the Bowman's capsule of the renal corpuscle in normal male mice are provided with bundles of thin microfilaments (50-70 A). Moreover, the ultrastructural observations demonstrated that similar thin filaments (50-70 A) are located in the flattened cells of the parietal layer of the Bowman's capsule and in the tubular cells. All the above cells bind antimyosin-like antibodies. Considering the correspondence between the immunochemical and ultrastructural findings, it is suggested that the microfilaments located in TLC contain a 'myosin-like' protein.
