Abstract excerpt
The expression of vimentin and alpha-smooth muscle (alpha-SM) actin was examined in 10 human temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc samples, with internal derangement and in two control specimens, in order to evaluate the phenotypic characteristics of TMJ disc cells in relationship to histological findings. This was accomplished by means of monoclonal antibodies specific for vimentin and alpha-SM actin and...
