Relationship between lectin-affinity granules in anuran embryos and formation of primordial germ cells

T Shirane. Experientia. .

Abstract

Embryos of the anuran, Rana nigromaculata, contained granules with a specific affinity for Con A and GS-I. Larvae derived from embryos injected with these lectins had a noticeable reduction in both the number and size of primordial germ cells (PGCs). This observation suggests that the granules are somehow involved in the formation of PGCs.
