The origin of (Kolmer's) epiplexus cells. A combined histomorphological and histochemical study.
The morphology and the histochemically proofed enzyme pattern of the (Kolmer's) epiplexus cells found at the telencephalic chorioid plexus of humans indicate that these cells are of monocytogenetic origin, that they are monocytes and monocytogenetic macrophages respectively.
