## Myelinating Schwann cells express the gap junction protein, connexin (Cx)32, which is present at the nodes of Ranvier and Schmidt-Lantermann incisures (Bergoffen et al. [1993] Science (Wash.) 262:2039-2042). Following peripheral nerve injury, other members of the connexin gene family are also e

## Abstract The extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascinโR (TNโR) has been implicated in a variety of cellโmatrix interactions involved in the molecular control of axon guidance and neural cell migration during development and regeneration of the central nervous system (CNS). Whereas TNโR is ampl
A recombinant retrovirus vector containing the glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) gene was constructed and transfected into Schwann cells (SCs) to investigate the possibility of GDNF transfection and functional expression of transfected SCs, including GDNF secretion and its mRNA expr
Previously we reported that cultured rat Schwann cells secrete p200, a collagen-like heparin-binding adhesive glycoprotein with a restricted pattern of expression. Here we report that p200 is secreted as a stable trimer, but only after treatment of Schwann cells with ascorbic acid, and was deposited
