OIKAWA, N., TOKI, T., TASE, T., WADA, Y. and YAJIMA, A. Three-Dimensional Observations on Intermediate Filaments of the Squamous Epithelium of the Uterine Cervix. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1985, 147(2), 169-176-The following conclusions have been drawn from electron-microscopic three-dimentional observations on the intermediate filaments (IFs) of the Squamous epithelium from the uterine cervix. (1) IFs form a three-dimensional reticular network and wrap around the intracellular periphery of cells extending from the basal to the superficial layers. (2) In basal and parabasal cells, the IFs are distributed in a pattern radiating from the perinuclear location toward the cellular periphery. (3) The use of PEG-embedding method after detergent-extraction with Triton X-100 and saponin is suitable for the three-dimensional observations on IFs of stratified squamous epithelium from the uterine cervix.
