[Detection of cytokeratin in cells of the arachnoid and in meningiomas].
Only few investigations have so far become known in the context of cytokeratin expression in cells of the arachnoid and in meningioma. Immunohistochemical studies, using three monoclonal anti-cytokeratin antibodies, were conducted into six arachnoids and 43 meningiomas. Consideration was given to all histological types of meningioma but the papillary type. Three arachnoids and nine meningiomas responded positively to cytokeratin. The highest ratio of positive meningiomas, that is four in ten, was recorded from unfixed cryostat sections, using the monoclonal antibody A45-B/B3.
