Axonal signals are key players in central nervous system myelination. During development,
the onset of myelination depends on a balance between positive and negative axonal …

… Axo-glial interthe fusion protein was used at 1 g/ml. Immunofluorescence was performed as
… Caspr and contactin or contactin alone [6] were incubated with NF155-Fc (30 g/ml) for 1 hr …

Semaphorins are a family of secreted and membrane-bound proteins, known to regulate
axonal pathfinding. Sema4D, also called CD100, was first isolated in the immune system where …

Whereas GABA is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the adult central nervous system,
recent experiments performed in our laboratory have shown that the activation of GABA A …

… Trophic activity of the brain fluid was not lostby centrifugation at 250,000g or by dialysis but

We have analyzed the brain pattern and time-course of c-fos-like proteins expression in
kainic acid-induced seizures in the rat. C-fos-like immunoreactivity increased initially in the …

Of the axonal signals influencing myelination, adhesion molecules expressed at the axonal
surface are strong candidates to mediate interactions between myelinating cells and axons. …
