Biphasic effect of pentobarbitone on chick myotube nicotinic receptor channel kinetics [PDF]
The modulatory action of pentobarbitone on chick myotube nicotinic acetylcholine receptor kinetics was studied by the patch clamp technique, particularly focussing on effects at low concentrations. Open time sojourn distributions of foetal‐type receptors recorded at room temperature (22–24°C) in cell‐attached mode in the presence of 0.2 μm ...

Posttranslational control of membrane-skeleton (ankyrin and alpha beta- spectrin) assembly in early myogenesis [PDF]
Adult chicken skeletal muscle cells express polypeptides that are antigenically related to alpha-spectrin (Mr 240,000) and beta-spectrin (Mr 220,000-225,000), the major components of the erythrocyte membrane- skeleton, and to ankyrin (Mr 237,000; also ...

Culture conditions influence satellite cell activation and survival of single myofibers [PDF]
Single myofiber isolation protocols allow to obtain an in vitro system in which the physical association between the myofiber and its stem cells, the satellite cells, is adequately preserved.

Distinct molecular interactions mediate neuronal process outgrowth on non-neuronal cell surfaces and extracellular matrices. [PDF]
We have compared neurite outgrowth on extracellular matrix (ECM) constituents to outgrowth on glial and muscle cell surfaces. Embryonic chick ciliary ganglion (CG) neurons regenerate neurites rapidly on surfaces coated with laminin (LN), fibronectin (FN),

Tissue-specific Expression of Distinct Spectrin and Ankyrin Transcripts in Erythroid and Nonerythroid Cells [PDF]
cDNA probes for three components of the erythroid membrane skeleton, α spectrin, β spectrin, and ankyrin, were obtained by using monospecific antibodies to screen a λgt11 expression vector library containing cDNA prepared from chicken erythroid poly(A)^+

cDNA that encodes active agrin [PDF]
Agrin is thought to mediate the motor neuron-induced aggregation of AChRs and AChE on the surface of muscle fibers at neuromuscular junctions. We have isolated a cDNA from a chick brain library that, based on sequence homology and expression experiments,

Molecular cloning and characterization of B-cadherin, a novel chick cadherin. [PDF]
Calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion is mediated in large part by a set of homologous integral membrane glycoproteins termed cadherins. In this report, antibodies to conserved domains in previously described cadherins have been used to isolate cDNAs ...

Glutamatergic neurons induce expression of functional glutamatergic synapses in primary myotubes. [PDF]
The functioning of the nervous system depends upon the specificity of its synaptic contacts. The mechanisms triggering the expression of the appropriate receptors on postsynaptic membrane and the role of the presynaptic partner in the differentiation of ...

Enhanced chemosensitivity of chick parasympathetic neurones in co‐culture with myotubes.
1. The influence of target interaction upon the electrophysiological properties of dissociated ciliary ganglion cells was investigated by testing the sensitivity of the neuronal somal membrane to ionophoretically applied acetylcholine (ACh). Variations in the percentage of cells responsive to the transmitter were measured with time in culture.
