Abstract
The present study is an analysis of neurotrophic control of DNA and protein synthesis in the separated epidermis and blastema of the early newt limb regenerate. Previous macromolecular studies employed the entire regenerate without discrimination between its two components. The results demonstrate that the specific activities of newly synthesized protein and DNA show a nerve dependence in both epidermis and blastema. There appears to be a postdenervation rise in synthesis followed by a decline to a plateau level in both components, similar to what is reported for the whole regenerate. After two days of denervation DNA synthesis in the mesenchymatous cells is more profoundly depressed, suggesting that the epidermis is less nerve dependent.

Denervation of the amputated limb of newts stops the regeneration process by decreasing blastema cell proliferation. We investigated the effect of the denervation on each of the two compartments (epidermal cap, mesenchyme) in mid-bud blastemas on the level of sulphated glycosaminoglycans (GAGS). Den
Bundles of nerve fibers invade the early regenerating limb of the adult newt Triturus. These fibers are unmyelinated and are only partly enveloped by accompanying Schwann cells. Isolated fibers make intimate contact with mesenchymatous cells. The fine structure of such contact regions suggests possi
