Localization of endogenous galactoside-binding lectin during morphogenesis of Xenopus laevis

Anatomy and Embryology

Abstract

A monoclonal antibody has been produced against Xenopus laevis galactoside-binding neural-crest-stage lectin. This antibody inhibits lectin-mediated hemagglutination. Using this antibody in conjunction with immunohistochemical techniques, lectin deposition has been studied in embryos and tadpoles at different stages of morphogenesis, from initial neural crest migration, up to the formation of a swimming tadpole. Lectin levels change during development in different regions of the embryo and tadpole, decreasing in migratory cells, and increasing in sites where cells become more adhesive to one another. The results suggest that galactoside-binding lectins may be an important class of cellular adhesion molecules during these stages of development.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
