## Abstract Cultured rat embryo fibroblasts, when stimulated to grow by the addition of fresh medium containing 10% serum, showed an increase in synthesis of slowβturnover proteins while maintaining a uniform degradation rate for these proteins. Slowβturnover proteins with a halfβlife of 2.4 days a
In serum, nerve growth factor (NGF) forms a complex with a,-macroglobulin (a2M), which formation inhibits the immunoreactivity between NGF and its antibodies. For measuring the serum level of NGF, it is thus necessary to liberate NGF from the NGF-a2M complex and prevent reformation of such complex.
