title: Patterns of cytokeratin/vimentin coexpression in the guinea pig.
abstract: The distribution of cytokeratin and vimentin in guinea pig tissues as seen by immunohistochemistry using monoclonal antibodies is described and a similar distribution pattern of coexpression of cytokeratin and vimentin in various cell types as compared to human tissues were found. The possible explanations for the unusual coexpression of both types of intermediate filaments in normal cells are discussed.
