Quantification of the influence of the growth substrate. Removal of the glial endfeet from BM resulted in strong increase in average axon length. The effect of IG2 is strongest on BM, nearly equal on BM and LN. Both effects are statistically significant (P < 0.0001). There was almost no effect of IG2 on matrigel and on N-cadherin. In the presence of glial endfeet JG22 exhibits weaker effects on axon outgrowth than on matrigel, BM-Ef, or LN. Anti-NCAM had no effect on any substrates. Double asterisks indicate P < 0.0001. See Table for data.
