## Abstract Preparations of ungulate growth hormone that have been used thus far to establish the role of that compound in supporting limb regeneration in hypophysectomized newts have contained significant prolactin contamination. Prolactin when present with thyroxin has been shown to be effective
## Abstract Cyclophosphamide (cytoxan), a clinical immunosuppressant, produced a marked, persistent leukopenia (> 40% reduction) in adult newts in contrast to a transient, milder leukopenia accompanying amputations without cytoxan treatments. In addition, cytoxan suppressed the formation of regener
The regenerative ability of limb stumps bearing partial circumferences of flank skin was tested in the newt, Notophthalmus viridescens. Skin dorsal to the lateral line of the flank was removed and used to replace 1/4, 112, or 314 of the skin of the upper forelimb. Grafts were placed at anterior, pos
Experiments were designed to compare the effects of recombinant newt fibroblast growth factor-1 (rnFGF-1) and recombinant human glial growth factor (rhGGF) on lens and retina regeneration in the eyes of adult newts. Both eyes were retinectomized and lentectomized. Beginning 3 days after the operatio
