What is Plant Lectins Detect Age and Region Specific Differences in Cell Surface Carbohydrates and Cell Reassociation Behavior of Embryonic Mouse Cerebellar Cells about?

## Abstract When plated at high cell density in a microwell culture system, freshly dissociated embryonic mouse cerebellar cells assemble into reproducible, 3‐dimensional patterns. The addition of the dimeric lectin Succinyl Concanavalin A blocks reversibly the formation of the microwell pattern, suggesting that cell surface carbohydrates affect the reassociation behavior of embryonic mouse cerebellar cells. Agglutination studes of dissociated cell populations harvested from different regions of the embryonic brain reveal that different lectins agglutinate cell populations from different embryonic brain regions. Cells from E13 cerebellum are agglutinated with Concanavalin A, wheat germ agglutinin, Ricinus communis agglutinin, mol wt 60,000, Ricinus communis agglutinin, mol wt 120,000, and Lens culinaris, but not by soybean agglutinin or a fucose‐binding protein. Cells from the midbrain are agglutinated only with Concanavalin A, Ricinus communis agglutinin, mol wt 60,000 and Ricinus communis agglutinin, mol wt 120,000; those from the cerebral cortex are agglutinated only with Lens culinaris; and those from the medulla are agglutinated only with Ricinus communis agglutinin, mol wt 60
