摘要:Clusters of acetylcholine receptors were formed in the absence of neurons during the development of cultured chick-embryo skeletal muscle cells. The average concentration of receptors in clusters was estimated to be 9000 per {micro}m2. At other regions of the cell, receptor concentration was 900 per {micro}m2. The possibility that receptor clusters may participate in synapse formation is suggested.
