title: Glycoprotein biosynthesis at the time of palate fusion by rabbit palate and maxilla cultured in vitro.
abstract: The dynamics of glycoprotein biosynthesis in rabbit maxillary and palatal explants at the time of palatal fusion was studied using 3H-fucose and 14C-leucine as precursors. The results show that there is an increase in glycoprotein biosynthesis in the rabbit palate in vitro at a time commensurate with the onset of contact and adherence of the palatal shelves.
