Expression of myelin-associated glycoprotein by small neurons of the dorsal root ganglion in chickens

FX Omlin, JM Matthieu, E Philippe, JM Roch, and B Droz

Biochemical and immunocytochemical investigations have shown that myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) is exclusively related to myelin and myelin-forming cells in mammals. In the present study it was found that dorsal root ganglia in young chickens display MAG-immunoreactive material in most small sensory neurons. The presence of MAG at the surface of small sensory neurons raises the question of whether this glycoprotein acts as a cell adhesion molecule in lower vertebrates.
