## Abstract The present immunocytochemical study examines in the rat ovary the pattern of expression of connexin 43 (Cx43), a subunit of gap junctions. Using a wellβcharacterized specific antiserum against rat Cx43, immunoreactivity was not detected in the fetal ovary, i.e., prior to follicular for
The immunohistochemical distribution and ultrastructural immunolocalization of con-nexin43 (Cx43) in the neural retina of the rabbit was investigated. Cx43 immunolabeling appeared in the form of distinct puncta distributed on different kinds of glial cells and exclusively in the myelinated fiber reg
Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) has been proposed as a cellular mechanism for tumour suppression and there is experimental evidence in support of this. If aberrant GJIC contributes to the formation of human breast tumours, one might expect that the connexins (gap junction proteins)
