...Emilia Peuhu; Reetta Virtakoivu; Anja Mai; Anni Wärri; Johanna Ivaska In the mammary gland, vimentin intermediate filaments are expressed in stromal cells and in basal epithelial cell populations, including gland-reconstituting mammary stem cells, with largely undefined functions. Here, we have...

...N. P. Torpey; J. Heasman; C. C. Wylie We have made antibodies against fusion proteins of Xenopus vimentin. We show for the first time the distribution of vimentin in larval stages, where it is found in cells of mesenchymal origin, and in radial glial cells. In sections of Xenopus oocytes and early...

... is the cessation in the expression of the gene for the intermediate filament (IF) protein vimentin and the removal of all vimentin filaments from the cytoplasm. We show here that in immature primitive cells vimentin is synthesized and forms a cytoplasmic network of IFs. As differentiation proceeds in vivo...

...G. Schaart; C. Viebahn; W. Langmann; F. Ramaekers ABSTRACT The expression of the intermediate filament (IF) constituents desmin, vimentin and keratin, as well as the striated-muscle-specific marker titin, was studied in mouse embryos of 8.0 to 9.5 days post coitum (d.p.c.), using the indirect...

... the identification of two types of Xenopus vimentin, Viml and Vim4, with their complete amino acid sequences as deduced from the cloned cDNAs, both of which are expressed during early embryogenesis. In addition, we have obtained two further vimentin cDNAs (Vim2 and 3) which are sequence variants of closely related...

...Mark Page The distribution of cytokeratins and vimentin intermediate filaments in the first 48 h of chick development has been determined using immunofluorescent labelling. During formation of the germ layers, cytokeratin expression is associated with the appearance of an integral epithelium...

...Joseph A. Dent; Andrew G. Polson; Michael W. Klymkowsky We have developed a whole-mount immunocytochemical method for Xenopus and used it to map the expression of the intermediate filament protein vimentin during early embryogenesis. We used two monoclonal antibodies, 14h7 and RV202. Both label...

...C. R. Sharpe A hamster vimentin cDNA probe has been used to isolate and characterize three Xenopus laevis intermediate filament genes, named XIF1, XIF3 and XIF6. Of these, XIF6 shows 89 % homology at the amino acid level to a portion of porcine neurofilament-M. XIF6 is transcribed solely in nervous...

...P. Tang; C. R. Sharpe; T. J. Mohun; C. C. Wylie Immunocytochemical studies using a monoclonal antiporcine vimentin antibody reveal a well-organized pattern of staining in Xenopus laevis oocytes, eggs and early embryos. The positions of Xenopus vimentin and desmin in two-dimensional (2D...
