Are intermediate filaments of vertebrate smooth muscle cells and tonofilaments of epithelial cells identical cell structures?
In epithelial and smooth muscle cells of the urinary bladder of the frog, a class of filaments exists which is partly disintegrated by glycerol treatment and very resistant to potassium solutions of high ionic strength.
