A monoclonal antibody to the myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) was prepared and characterized to probe for the involvement of MAG in cell surface interactions among neural cells in vitro. The… (More)
The cell adhesion molecules L1, N-CAM and Ng-CAM have been implicated in cell-cell interactions among developing neural cells. L1 and N-CAM are structurally and functionally distinct molecular… (More)
The biosynthesis and membrane topography of the neural cell adhesion molecule L1 have been studied in cerebellar cell cultures by metabolic labeling and immunoprecipitation. Pulse and pulse-chase… (More)
The neural cell adhesion molecules L1 and N-CAM share a common carbohydrate epitope that is recognized by the monoclonal antibodies L2 and HNK-1. The L2/HNK-1 epitope is also present on the… (More)
We investigated whether the L2/HNK-1 carbohydrate epitope, expressed by two unusual glycolipids and several neural adhesion molecules, including L1, neural cell adhesion molecule, J1, and the… (More)
A series of substituted benzimidazo[1,2-c]quinazolines have been synthesized. This class of compound has been designed by structural comparison with other intercalator patterns. The determination of… (More)
Several structural analogs of verapamil were studied for their ability to reverse multi-drug resistance (MDR) in human KB cell lines. D595, D792 and verapamil completely reversed resistance to… (More)
In serum-free monolayer cultures of early postnatal weaver (wv/wv) cerebellum granule neurons show decreased attachment, survival and neurite outgrowth when compared to wild-type (+/+) littermate… (More)
Glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive astrocytes, but not neurons or fibroblasts, support the differentiation of an oligodendroglial precursor cell expressing O4 antigen and vimentin into an O4… (More)
To study the cellular heterogeneity of astrocytes from early postnatal mouse cerebellum in culture, Bergmann glia were enriched by hand-dissection of Purkinje, molecular and external granular layers… (More)
