Cells grow, move, expand, shrink and die in the process of generating the characteristic
shapes of organisms. Although the structures generated during development of the social …

Cell adhesion complexes are critical for the physical coordination of cell–cell interactions
and the morphogenesis of tissues and organs. Many adhesion receptors are anchored to …

Proof that plants possess homologs of animal adhesion proteins is lacking. In this paper we
describe the generation of monoclonal antibodies that interfere with cell‐cell contacts in the …

A series of monoclonal antibodies against a developmentally regulated protein of
Dictyostelium discoideum, the contact site A glycoprotein, were used in immunoblots to label …

Upon starvation, the cellular slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum initiates a 24-h
programme of differentiation1. Within 6 h, cells move towards aggregation centres in …

During development of Dictyostelium, four adhesion systems have been identified and
adherens junction-like structures have been discovered in the fruiting body. The temporal …

We have investigated the sorting and packaging of secretory proteins into secretory
granules by an immunological approach. An mAb against secretogranin I (chromogranin B) …

The extracellular matrix (ECM) of Volvox contains insoluble fibrous layers that surround
individual cells at a distance to form contiguous cellular compartments. Using immunological …

Polyclonal antisera raised against a single lysosomal enzyme from Dictyostelium
discoideum will cross-react with other lysosomal proteins due to the presence of common …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the cell surface glycoproteins and the strategies
used for their study during animal development. The changes in carbohydrate structures and …
