INTERMEDIATE FI LAMENT DISTRIBUTION PATTERNS IN MATURING MOUSE OOCYTES AND CUMULUS CELLS -

[摘要] ABSTRACT: Successful oogenesis requires coordinated cytoskeletal rearrangements. While microfilaments and microtubules in mammalian oocytes are well studied, data about intermediate filaments are still scarce and controversial. We investigated intracellular distribution of vimentin and a set of cytokeratins in mouse oocytes and cumulus-oocyte complexes at different maturation stages using immunofluorescence and laser scanning confocal microscopy. Our results showed that conventional cytokeratins.
