TL;DR
A procedure is described to stain cells rich in actin in microfilamentous form on formalin-fixed paraffinembedded tissues: specific rabbit antibodies raised against sodium dodecyl sulfate denatured chicken gizzard actin were found to be essential for a successful staining.

It is suggested that both principal cell types in this tumor may derive from the same undifferentiated stem cell.

A study of the distribution of antiactin autoantibody binding in rat, rabbit and man shows that several "nonmuscular" structures contain actin under normal conditions; these include megakaryocytes and platelets, normal rat hepatocytes, the brush borders of renal tubules, the periphery of epithelial cells of the intestine, polymorphs and lymphocytes in lymph nodes.

It is suggested that fibrosarcomas and malignant fibrous histiocytomas contain cells showing a spectrum of differentiation from fibrocytic to myogenic and that at the ultrastructural level the distinction between fibroblast and smooth muscle tumors may be blurred.

Sera containing antibodies to smooth muscle (SMA) wer analysed for the immunofluorescence patterns they produced in various tissues, and a classification is described based on the three main appearances in rat kidney.

It appears that malignant cells contain an increased amount of contractile proteins, organized in the form of a filamentous apparatus, when compared to their normal counterparts.

Though lobular carcinomas and tubular carcinoma of the breast have been traditionally regarded as two distinct entities, they have certain similar functional characteristics and it is postulated that these two tumours could represent the extreme variants of the same entity.
