## Abstract Estrogen receptors are expressed in several areas of the brain associated with cognition, including the basal forebrain cholinergic nuclei, and numerous reports have described improvements in memory in response to estrogen supplementation. The relationship between estrogen's effects on
Mouse 3T3 fibroblasts were genetically modified by transfection with a mammalian expression vector containing the rat p-nerve growth factor (NGF) gene. The transfected cell line, designated 3E, contains several hundred copies of the rat NGF gene and secretes high levels of biologically active NGF. P
