Abstract excerpt

The localization of the extracellular matrix glycoprotein laminin was studied using polyclonal anti-laminin antibodies. The laminin patterns of the basement membranes of the muscular epithelial sheath that envelops the ovariole were conspicuously different from those of the basement membrane of t...
