โฆ Synopsis
We report the first quantitative uldiffusion rate of the receptor. Quantitative analysis of trastructural analysis of newly formed acetylcholine label locations indicates that the receptor distribution receptor aggregates. Aggregates were induced in Xenwithin aggregates is nonrandom. Instead, the newly opus muscle cell cultures with agrin, labeled with gold aggregated receptors appear to be bound to a localized particles, and detected using high resolution scanning scaffold conforming to a hexagonal (close-packed) electron microscopy. Aggregates are readily discerngeometry with a spacing of approximately 9.9 nm. ible at the ultrastructural level within 2 h of stimula-
