title: Intermediate filament expression in carcinoid tumours.
abstract: Twenty-eight carcinoid tumours were stained with monoclonal antibodies to epithelial and neural related intermediate filaments. All were found to express epithelial markers, and none expressed neural markers. These results support the theory that carcinoids are of epithelial, rather than neural crest origin.
