For half a century, the extremely thin cells of this monolayer have in the literature been regarded as part of a lymphatic endothelium, in particular in rodents. However, our double-label immunofluorescence microscopical results have shown that in all six mammalian species examined, including three rodent ones (rat, mouse, guinea pig), this classification is not correct: the very attenuated cells of this monolayer are not of lymphatic endothelial nature as they do not contain established endothelial marker molecules. In particular, they do not contain claudin-5-positive tight junctions, VE-cadherin-positive adherens junctions, 'lymph vessel endothelium hyaluronan receptor 1' (LYVE-1), podoplanin, protein myozap and 'von Willebrand Factor' (vWF). By contrast and as controls, all these established marker molecules for the lymphatic endothelial cell type are found in the endothelia of the lymph and-partly also-blood vessels located nearby in the interstitial space. Thus, our results provide evidence that the monolayer cells covering the peritubular wall do not contain endothelial marker molecules and hence are not endothelial cells. We discuss possible methodological reasons for the maintenance of this incorrect cell type classification in the literature and emphasize the value of molecular analyses using multiple cell type-specific markers, also with respect to physiology and medical sciences. 000147608 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-311$$a311 - Signalling pathways, cell and tumor biology (POF3-311)$$cPOF3-311$$fPOF III$$x0 000147608 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, 000147608 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)d075d31409e4ebca72c76446442dbc1a$$aDomke, Lisa M$$b1$$udkfz 000147608 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)0f83789bc03d3966a9a786684c9b15e5$$aDörflinger, Yvette$$b2$$udkfz 000147608 7001_ $$0P:(DE-He78)7c58721b8a5cf92cb78cb3fad538ce3c$$aZimbelmann, Ralf$$b3$$eLast author$$udkfz 000147608 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1458496-7$$a10.1007/s00441-019-03116-5$$n1$$p75-92$$tCell & tissue research$$v379$$x1432-0878$$y2020 000147608 909CO $$ooai:inrepo02.dkfz.de:147608$$pVDB 000147608 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)7603e07539216b364cdb015f67872c66$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b0$$kDKFZ 000147608 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)d075d31409e4ebca72c76446442dbc1a$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b1$$kDKFZ 000147608 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)0f83789bc03d3966a9a786684c9b15e5$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b2$$kDKFZ 000147608 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2036810-0$$6P:(DE-He78)7c58721b8a5cf92cb78cb3fad538ce3c$$aDeutsches Krebsforschungszentrum$$b3$$kDKFZ 000147608 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-311$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-310$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lKrebsforschung$$vSignalling pathways, cell and tumor biology$$x0 000147608 9141_ $$y2020 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0420$$2StatID$$aNationallizenz 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bCELL TISSUE RES : 2017 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1030$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Life Sciences 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1040$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bZoological Record 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews 000147608 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5 000147608 9202_ $$0I:(DE-He78)A991-20160331$$kA991$$lA991 Helmholtz-Professur Zellbiologie$$x0 000147608 9200_ $$0I:(DE-He78)A991-20160331$$kA991$$lA991 Helmholtz-Professur Zellbiologie$$x0 000147608 9201_ $$0I:(DE-He78)A991-20160331$$kA991$$lA991 Helmholtz-Professur Zellbiologie$$x0 000147608 980__ $$ajournal 000147608 980__ $$aVDB 000147608 980__ $$aI:(DE-He78)A991-20160331 000147608 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
