3H-concanavalin A and the concanavalin A-horseradish peroxidase staining technique were used to study the distribution of surface coat material on the epithelium of the nasal folds and nasal groove of mouse embryos. In stages shortly before and during epithelial fusion concanavalin A stained or labeled material was present at apical surfaces of epithelial cells of the nasal groove and nasal folds. Ag grains, representing bound 3H-concanavalin A, were counted in defined areas of the nasal groove and presumptive fusion area in both anterior and posterior regions of the nasal folds. For both stages examined there was a significant increase in the amount of 3H-concanavalin A bound by presumptive fusion areas in posterior regions of the nasal folds as compared with anterior regions; i.e., the amount of surface coat was greater in the region just prior to the point of contact between the nasal folds. Investigations of palatal shelf and neural fold fusion suggest that increased synthesis of surface coat material is associated with adhesion and fusion of epithelial folds and shelves.
