Antibodies to DCC inhibit the migration of crest-derived cells from gut toward pancreas.
E5 chick gut and pancreas were co-cultured.
Crest-derived cells migrate out of gut toward pancreas.
This migration is inhibited by a-DCC and RP-cAMPS, but not by SP-cAMPS.
These observations suggest that pancreatic netrin attracts enteric crest-derived cells through DCC in vitro.
