Immunohistochemical localization of basic fibroblast growth factor in choroid plexus of the rat.
In the present study, we report that an intense bFGF-immunoreactivity has been detected in the choroid plexus of the brain ventricles of adult rats. These results suggest that epithelial choroid plexus cells may be the source of the cerebrospinal fluid bFGF.
