Abstract:L2 antigen is expressed at the cell surface of neurons and glia in the developing embryonic and postnatal mouse cerebellar cortex.In monolayer cultures the antigen is strongly detectable on an immature neural subpopulation which expresses tetanus toxin receptors, vimentin, which is an early astroglial marker, and, to a considerably lower degree, glial fibrillary acidic protein.Most, but not all of these L2 antigen-positive cells also express the developmentally early oligodendroglial marker 04 antigen, but not… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
