[Histonet] fibroblast marker(s)?

[Kobler, James]

I would appreciate any suggestions for distinguishing fibroblasts from other
connective tissue cells using any possible histological techniques.  Is it true
that there is still not one molecular marker (or combination of markers) that is
unambiguously specific for a fibroblast?

 

Thanks very much,
