## Abstract Chronic neuropathic pain arises following nerve injury and persists long after the initial damage has recovered. To enhance understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie this pain state, the gene expression profiles of the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) from spinal nerve ligation (
## Abstract The response of dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons to NGF deprivation and to axotomy was examined in adult guinea pigs. The success of NGF deprivation by means of an autoimmune approach was monitored by the measurement of serum antibody titer levels against guinea pig NGF with the standa
The low-affinity p75 receptor for nerve growth factor (p75NGFR) has been implicated in mediating neuronal cell death in vitro. A recent in vitro study from our laboratory showed that the death of sensory neurons can be prevented by reducing the levels of p75NGFR with antisense oligonucleotides. To d
