Abstract
The goal of our research is to investigate the differentiation of the myelin forming cells in the central nervous system, the oligodendroglia. Differentiation of a given cell type often depends on interactions with other cell types, a phenomenon that has been shown to be relevant also for oligodendrocytes in the case of Wallerian Degeneration. As interactions among cells are most likely mediated by the cell surface, we have concentrated on the investigation of cell surface components.
