title: Glycoprotein expression in mouse cerebellum: effects of inhibitors of N-linked glycosylation.
abstract: 1. Explants of cerebellum from foetal mouse were cultured in vitro for 10 days in the presence of one of 4 inhibitors of N-linked glycosylation (castanospermine, deoxymannojirimycin, swainsonine, and tunicamycin). 2. The effects of the inhibitors were compared with respect to: (a) the activity of enzymes involved in glycoprotein biosynthesis and degradation; (b) the expression of N-linked glycoproteins; (c) the morphology and ultrastructure of the treated cerebellar explants.
