  • Title: Localization of the centriole and keratin intermediate filaments in PtK1 cells by double immunofluorescence.
    Author: Eckert BS, Caputi SE, Brinkley BR.
    Journal: Cell Motil; 1984; 4(4):241-7. PubMed ID: 6206954.
    Abstract:
    We present observations on the relative location of the centriole and keratin filament cap in motile PtK1 cells. Subconfluent cells were double labeled with anticentriole and antikeratin sera. These preparations revealed that the centriole is separate from, but neighboring, the keratin filament cap. Serial ultrathin sections confirm this observation. These observations are consistent with the idea that the microtubule organizing center and intermediate filament distribution center are not identical or concentric in PtK1 cells.
