title: [Intermediate filaments in cells of hyaline cartilage].
abstract: After different fixation procedures great numbers of bundles of intermediate cytofilaments, 10 nm in thickness, could be detected in electron micrographs of chondrocytes from Processus xiphoideus of the rat, from the articular cartilage of the rabbit and from chondrocyte cultures from the articular cartilage of the rabbit. By means of the indirect immunofluorescence technique with monoclonal antibodies they could be clearly defined as vimentin.
