Immunohistochemical demonstration of the co-expression of vimentin and cytokeratin(s) in the guinea pig cochlea.
Using a decalcification procedure for guinea pig petrous bones, we were able to prepare cryostat sections for immunohistochemical studies. A panel of monoclonal antibodies against intermediate filament proteins was then used to show a co-expression of cytokeratin and vimentin in the epithelial cells of the stria vascularis.
