  • Title: [Light microscopic studies of concanavalin A binding in the choroid plexus epithelium and ependymal cells of the cerebral ventricle and human tumors derived from those tissues].
    Author: Kasper M, Goertchen R, Gottschalk J.
    Journal: Zentralbl Allg Pathol; 1987; 133(4):331-6. PubMed ID: 3425012.
    Abstract:
    Histochemical investigations of human choroid plexus with lectins revealed strong cytoplasmic binding of concanavalin A to plexus epithelium, whereas ependymal cells were unstained or only weakly reactive. A similar but less clear-cut staining pattern by concanavalin A was observed with plexus papillomas and ependymomas. A clear discrimination however, between the two tumor types using this method is not possible.
