[Immunohistochemical study of reserve cells: hypotheses on their origin].
The location of reserve cells make it possible the understanding of cervicovaginal repair by metaplasia process better, really some have studied the potentiality of such cells. Now we believe that totipotent stromal cell, which can evolve towards the epithelial cells, give origin to reserve cells. Immunohistochemistry methods point out stain positively for cytokeratin (DW 45-56,5 KD) present in reserve cells, confirmed the stromal origin of them.
