We have previously presented evidence that cell-cell contact is the normal developmental signal to deactivate discoidin I gene expression in D discoideum [Berger EA, Clark JM: Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 80:4983, 19831. Here we provide genetic evidence to support this hypothesis by examining gene express
Antibodies against pure discoidin I have been used as a tool to ascertain the role of this lectin in aggregation of Dictyostelium discoideum. Discoidin I is widely expressed over the cell surface of aggregation-competent AX-2 cells, as ascertained by indirect immunofluorescence with specific (antidi
## Abstract The endogenous lectins discoidins I and II are believed to be primary components of the morphogenetic cell cohesion system of D discoideum. We have developed two immunochemical methods to analyze the association of the discoidins with the cell surface. One method is a twoβstage specific
