 | | Schwann cells, the inside layer of the endoneurium, surround the axon and produce myelin, external lamina and collagen. |
 | | The Schwann cell is neural-crest derived and is positive for S100 protein, Leu7, laminin, and myelin basic protein, and negative for cytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), desmin and muscle actins. |
 | | A third cell type has been identified within the endoneurium as a slender dendritic spindle cell which displays CD34 positivity, and which appears to be distinct from Schwann, perineurial or endothelial cells. |
