(1) It included antibodies against cytokeratin (CK), vimentin (VIM), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and muscle-specific actin (MSA); the latter three markers are associated with myoepithelial differentiation.
(2) An in situ hybridization technique using a biotinylated probe for the human VIM was applied to detect eventual cryptic translocations, as chromosome 10p is difficult to identify.
(3) Most of these cells were also immunostained for VIM in adjacent semithin sections.
(4) According to our results, most astrocytes in the adult rat optic nerve showed coexpression of VIM and GFAP.
(5) The coordinate expression of the nuclear p53 protein, cytoplasmic intermediate filament vimentin (VIM) and membrane epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R) was significantly associated with oestrogen receptor immunocytochemical nuclear stain (ER-ICA) negative breast carcinomas.
(6) Immunostaining of glycosphingolipids isolated from myeloid cells demonstrated that the SSEA-1 epitope is carried by several neutral glycosphingolipids and that the VIM-2 epitope is carried by three or more gangliosides.
(7) A high frequency (130 Hz) chronic Vim stimulation was performed in 4 parkinsonian patients, 2 of them having previously undergone a thalamotomy on the other side.
(8) Through the development of an indirect coupled assay, we have identified three in vitro activities in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that can catalyze the proteolytic cleavage of the three COOH-terminal amino acids of the synthetic peptide substrate N-acetyl-KSKTK[S-farnesyl-Cys]VIM.
(9) Vim mRNA was not found in the fetal oral epithelia, dental lamina or the enamel organ, but a distinct immunoreactivity with monoclonal antibodies to Vim was seen in the stellate reticulum cells of the enamel organ.
(10) There was considerable overlap in the distribution of motor and sensory responses in the vicinity of the ventral intermediate (VIM) thalamus: however, motor responses, particularly irregular movements, tended to be confined within the VIM and ventro-oralis posterior (VOP), whereas sensory responses tended to be localized in the VIM and ventroposterolateral nuclei, with considerable extension into the ventroposterior subthalamic region.
(11) However, a major discrepancy existed for the expression of vimentin gene (VIM), which was high, even though the map location of the gene (10p) was missing in many cell lines.
(12) Two main populations were present: the major one being HLA-DR+, Cy mu+, VIM-D5+, TdT-, CALLA-, SmIg-; the minor one HLA-DR+, Cy mu+, VIM-D5-, TdT+, CALLA-, SmIg-.
(13) In hemangioblastomas, besides intervascular and endothelial cells, groups of polygonal cells are intensely positive for both VIM and GFAP.
(14) The significance of the coexpression VIM-GFAP and the restricted location of GFAP positive cells is discussed in relation with the maturation of pineal glial cells.
(15) Furthermore, the maturation of myeloid progenitor cells has been examined by delayed treatment with VIM-D5 and complement during the in vitro culture period.
(16) Both layers of the iris epithelium reacted with monoclonal antibodies (MAb) V9 and Vim 3B4 to vimentin, whereas the ciliary epithelia additionally reacted with MAb CAM 5.2, CK5, KS-B17.2, and CY-90, recognizing cytokeratins 8 and 18.
(17) As long ago as July 2007, Abbey's director of service quality, Vim Maru, told the Observer that "service has not been good enough", but its "action plan is on track".
(18) The VIM-D5 MoAb was used with rabbit complement (C'), whereas the 8.27 and SMY15A MoAbs were used in the presence of human C'.
(19) On the other side, a discrete lesion in Vim caused no sensory disturbance.
(20) After complement-mediated cytolysis with VIM-2, the number of BFU-e was significantly reduced; however, this effect was largely abrogated by addition of leukocyte-conditioned medium to the cultures as an exogenous source of burst-promoting activity.
