The results of an immunohistological study of the normal human nasal mucosa show that there are frequently vimentin-positive cells detectable in addition to cytokeratins in the respiratory epithelium. The vimentin cells are probably ciliated and/or goblet type in origin. Furthermore, some co-expressing cells were found in basal parts of the submucous glands.
