Abstract excerpt
Laminin (A:B1:B2) is a major component of the first basement membrane to appear in the developing mouse embryo. Its effects on morphogenesis and differentiation are mediated by interaction with cell surface receptors that are members of the integrin family. We have studied the expression of the alpha 6 subunit of murine alpha 6 beta 1 and its ligand, laminin, in preimplantation mouse embryos, embryo outgrowths...
