[Proliferation of oligodendrocytes is stimulated after their adhesion on a matrix made up of a nerve lectin, CSL].
It is shown that oligodendrocytes (myelin producing cells in the central nervous system) can adhere to a substratum constituted by an endogenous cerebellar soluble lectin (CSL) adsorbed on plastic Petri dishes. This adhesion induces a rapid and important proliferation of cultured oligodendrocytes.
