Abstract excerpt
Integrin function in retinal ganglion cell (RGC) development was examined in vivo by transfecting genes encoding various dominant forms of the chicken beta 1 integrin subunit into intact eye primordia of Xenopus embryos. RGCs expressing the chimeric chicken/Xenopus integrin receptors exhibited a marked reduction in process outgrowth with only 27% extending an axon and 41% bearing dendrites compared to control...
