Neural crest cell-cell adhesion controlled by sequential and subpopulation-specific expression of novel cadherins

We identified two cadherins, c-cad6B and c-cad7, expressed by neural crest cells at their premigratory and migratory stages, respectively, in chicken embryos. cDNA transfection experiments showed that both were homophilic adhesion molecules, endowing cells with specific adhesiveness. During developm...
