Immunocytochemical Analysis of Intermediate Filaments in Human Ependymal Tumors
Abstract
The peroxidase anti-peroxidase technique was used for localization of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin (VM) in 19 ependymal tumors in order to determine if a unique pattern of intermediate filament (IF) expression could be demonstrated. Cytokeratin (CK) immunoreactivity was examined in a subgroup of 7 tumors with papillary pattern. Nineteen non-ependymal neuroectodermal tumors were used as controls. Ependymomas, …
