Preparation of tissue-specific cell-aggregating factors from embryonic neural tissues.
Tissue-specific cell-aggregating factors were previously obtained from the supernatant media of embryonic cell cultures. We describe here that such factors can be extracted from cell-membrane preparations derived directly from embryonic tissues: neural retina, cerebrum, and spinal cord of chick embryos.
