Abstract excerpt

Immunofluorescence-microscopy was applied to study the distribution of desmin, vimentin, and smooth muscle myosin in smooth muscle of human fetal vessels. Serial cryostat sections of the vessels examined all reacted positively with myosin and vimentin antibodies. However, heterogeneous staining o...
