Human Schwann cells in culture: characterization and reactivity with human anti-sulfated glucuronyl glycolipid monoclonal IgM antibodies.

Schwann cells in cultures derived from human fetal peripheral nervous system were characterized by their morphology and indirect immunofluorescence with anti-galactocerebroside and anti-laminin antibodies. They stained strongly with human monoclonal IgM anti-sulfated glucuronyl glycolipid antibodies in double labeling experiments.
