  • Title: Regenerate epithelium and skin glands of the adult newt react to the same monoclonal antibody.
    Author: Tassava RA, Johnson-Wint B, Gross J.
    Journal: J Exp Zool; 1986 Aug; 239(2):229-40. PubMed ID: 3528384.
    Abstract:
    A search for specific proteins involved in newt limb regeneration, using monoclonal antibodies against forelimb blastemas, led to the detection of an antigen in the regenerate epithelium. Fluorescent-antibody-labeled cells first appeared just prior to blastema outgrowth. From bud through early digit stages this antibody reacted with nearly all of the regenerate epithelial cells. Other tissues also reacted, including nerve, blood vessels, and gastrointestinal tract. The behavior of the reactive cells in the regenerate epithelium, and their close association with immediately adjacent skin glands, raises several new possibilities for the origin of the regenerate epithelium.
