- "Transfection of neurons with low levels of YFP-neuroligin followed by application of beads bearing anti-YFP antibodies resulted in local clustering of the YFP-neuroligin on the surface of transfected dendrites. Such direct aggregation of YFP-neuroligin-1 resulted in coaggregation of PSD-95 but not gephyrin (Figure 5A)."
