Lv. Beletskaya et al., LOCALIZATION AND FATE OF THYMIC EPITHELIOCYTES OF ENDODERMAL ORIGIN SYNTHESIZING CYTOKERATIN-18, Bulletin of experimental biology and medicine, 117(2), 1994, pp. 191-193
A reaction in the cytoplasm and processes of some cells of the epithel
ial reticulum is revealed by indirect immunofluorescence with monoclon
al antibodies to cytokeratin 18 in the cortical zone of human thymus.
In the medullary zone the reaction is observed in spherical elements s
imilar in shape and size to intestinal goblet cells.
