Heterophilic Binding of the Adhesion Molecules Poliovirus Receptor and Immunoglobulin Superfamily 4A in the Interaction Between Mouse Spermatogenic and Sertoli Cells1
22 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
The cell adhesion protein immunoglobulin superfamily 4A (IGSF4A) is expressed on the surfaces of spermatogenic cells in the mouse testis. During spermatogenesis, IGSF4A is considered to bind to the surface of Sertoli cells in a heterophilic manner. To identify this unknown partner of IGSF4A, we generated rat monoclonal antibodies against the membrane proteins of mouse Sertoli cells grown in primary culture. Using...
