## Abstract The innervation of the human intervertebral disc was investigated by immunochemical methods. Immunoreactivity to the general nerve marker protein gene product (PGP 9.5) was found in the outer annulus fibrosus of 11 of 12 discs removed during anterior arthrodesis for back pain. PGP 9.5โi
Results obtained by physical methods of examination, particularly X-ray diffraction, polarizing and electron microscopy and more recently differential thermal analysis, are reviewed. The different structures of the elastic wall of the disc (annulus fibrosus) and the gel-like centre of the disc (nucl
