title: A post-embedding method: demonstration of fibronectin on human liver by PAP technique.
abstract: Fibronectin, one of the most relevant components of extracellular matrix, seems to mediate cell to cell and cell to substrate interactions by means of selective links with collagen fibrils and glycosaminoglycans. Post-embedding technique using PAP method has allowed us a precise localization of fibronectin on semi-thin sections and on adjacent thin sections, improving the knowledge of fibronectin-collagen relationships.
