“…At high magnification, it appears to be traversed by fine filamentousappearing densities extending from the plasma membrane to the basal lamina ( 5). These densities are very similar to the bridging fibrils described in other 35 and can be seen along both epithelial and myoepithelial cells. They seem to be continuous with the substance of the basal lamina on one side and the plasma membrane on the other, even in areas devoid of hemidesmosomes, but no proof can be found of their being continuous with intracytoplasmic filaments or of representing extracellular extensions of these filaments.…”

“…Only once, a few structures resembling the anchoring fibers described in other locations25. 29, 35 could be seen oriented perpendicularly to the basal lamina and seemingly merging with it ( Fig. 5).…”

“…The basement membrane has been considered to be a condensation of reticulin fibres beneath the epithelium (Younes et al, 1965), but the demonstration of such a continuous condensation of reticulin fibres is difficult to evidence by conventional histological techniques (Lamb et al, 1960). However, Beutner's studies (1968) have demonstrated the presence of particular antigens in a basement membrane-like pattern beneath the squamous epithelium, which are defined by their reaction with antibodies occurring in patients with bullous pemphigoid.…”

“…However, some reactive material in the epithelial "basement membrane" always survived digestion, suggesting that it was bound to substances which were not trypsin labile. Collagen may fill this role, and this suggestion is supported by the electron microscopic histochemical investigations of Younes et al (1965) and Swift and Saxton (1967). Alternatively, some trypsinresistant, or relatively resistant, non-collagenous protein or peptide, such as is found in proteolipids (Folch and Lees 1951), may be involved.…”
