The adult frog dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) and their sciatic nerves (ScN) survive in organ culture for several days. About 3 days after a local test crush, the sensory axons start to regenerate into the distal nerve stump at a rate of approximately 0.6-0.9 mm/day. The axonal outgrowth is inhibited in

## Abstract To probe the effects of possible inhibitors or enhancers of in vivo myelination, we have modified a technique widely used in studies of the developing neuromuscular system that involves incorporation of test compounds into a silicon rubber solution, which solidifies on contact with air.
The adult cat sciatic nerve was examined for Schwann cell biosynthesis of the major myelin glycoprotcin (Po) in the distal segments after permanent nerve transection, where there is no axonal regeneration or myelin assembly. Endoneurial slices (intrafascicular tissue) from the distal segment of the
