Description:
Suspensions of embryonic chick neuronal cells adhered to monolayers of glial cells, but few neurons bound to control monolayers of fibroblastic cells from meninges or skin. Neuronal cell-glial cell adhesion was inhibited by prior incubation of the neurons with Fab' fragments of antibodies to neuronal membranes. In contrast, antibodies to the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) did not inhibit the binding. These results suggest that a specific adhesive mechanism between neurons and glial cells exists and that it is mediated by CAM's that differ from those so far identified.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Grumet, M -- Rutishauser, U -- Edelman, G M -- AI-11378/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- HD-09635/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- HD-16550/HD/NICHD NIH HHS/ -- etc. -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1983 Oct 7;222(4619):60-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6194561" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
