Abstract
Mouse embryo neurulae were exposed in vitro to phospholipase C to examine the role of carbohydrate-rich extracellular material (ECM) during neurulation. Exposure of embryos to this agent for 12 h resulted in failure of closure of the neural tube. Ultrastructural examination revealed an absence of ECM from regions of the neural tube which failed to close.Entities:
