[The possible function of Schwann cells in neuromuscular transmission in the frog].
Anti-galactoside rabbit antisera increased the frequency of slow (atypical) MEPPs. No lysis of the Schwann cells was found in synaptic regions. The data obtained suggest that fixation of antibodies to galactocerebroside on the Schwann cell surface membrane alters the cell's activity thus affecting some characteristics of neuromuscular transmission.
