TY - JOUR TI - Melanoma Cell Adhesion Molecule (MCAM) expression in the myogenic lineage during early chick embryonic development. AU - Pujades, Cristina AU - Guez-Guez, Borhane AU - Dunon, Dominique T2 - The International Journal of Developmental Biology AB - We describe the expression pattern of cMCAM, a cell adhesion molecule of the immunoglobulin superfamily, in early chick embryonic development by in situ hybridisation. An initial ectodermal domain of expression is subsequently expanded, and cMCAM is expressed in the neural crest cells, otic vesicle, heart primordium, notochord and endoderm. In addition, cMCAM expression localises in the myotome once the somite cells have been specified. An in vitro murine cellular system allowed us to confirm that MCAM expression coincides with the onset of myogenic cell determination. PY - 2002 VL - 46 IS - 2 SP - 263 EP - 266 J2 - Int. J. Dev.
