The L5 epitope: an early marker for neural induction in the chick embryo and its involvement in inductive interactions

C Roberts, N Platt, A Streit, M Schachner and CD Stern
Department of Human Anatomy, Oxford, UK.

The pattern of expression of the carbohydrate epitope L5 was studied during early development of the chick neuroepithelium. Immunoreactivity first appears during gastrulation, at mid-primitive streak stage, and persists until at least 3.5 days of development. The epitope is expressed on all the components of the developing nervous system, both central and peripheral. In immunoblots, the antibody recognises a major component of about Mr 500,000 and several more minor components of lower molecular mass. If a Hensen's node from a donor embryo is transplanted into the area opaca of a host embryo, L5 immunoreactivity appears in the epiblast surrounding the graft. If hybridoma cells secreting the antibody are grafted together with Hensen's node into a host chick embryo, the induction of a supernumerary nervous system is inhibited. We suggest that the L5 epitope is an early and general marker for neural induction and that it may be involved directly in inductive interactions.
