| Abstract | The spatiotemporal expression of the extracellular matrix protein cytotactin/tenascin during somitogenesis suggests that it plays a role in the morphogenetic events that give rise to the pattern of neural crest (NC) development. In the present study, the spatial distribution and molecular forms of cytotactin in somites were examined using in situ hybridization, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry during normal development and after injury. In situ hybridization showed that prior to NC cell invasion cytotactin mRNA was restricted to the caudal half of the newly formed epithelial somites. As each epithelial somite matured, giving rise to a sclerotome and dermamyotome, the mRNA was first restricted to the dermamyotome and later restricted to the rostral protion of the sclerotome, consistent with the previously reported protein distribution. Immunocytochemical analysis of the distribution of cytotactin and NC cells in embryos with ablations that removed NC cells, or with simple wounds that left NC cells in place, demonstrated that the presence of NC cells is neither necessary nor sufficient for the correct positioning of cytotactin. Immunoblotting analysis showed that cytotactin synthesized by sclerotomes in the absence of NC cells was of similar molecular mass to that produced in their presence. These findings are in accord with the notion that the abnormalities of cytotactin distribution are related to the wounding process. We conclude that, contrary to the suggestion of Stern et al. [Stern, C. D., Norris, W. E., Bronner-Fraser, M., Carlson, G. J., Faissner, A., Keynes, R. J. & Schachner, M. (1989) Development 107, 309-319], there is no causal link between the presence of NC cells and the distribution and molecular mass of sclerotomal cytotactin. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
